Hey, it was good to see you guys!

Mark - sorry I left so abruptly, a couple of the guys had to leave (unbeknownst to me). Your boat ran awesome, you have got to hang onto that thing!!! I know we were all really impressed with Doug's cig too

You are more than welcome to borrow the 5blade 32's whenever - just let me know. Mine ran OK with the 4blades this weekend, I'm not afraid to use them in calmer water.

We shot some pretty good video - way better than last year. I'll try to get it out one of these days. I basically got none of my own boat - maybe we'll have to run again yet this year. I'd really like to see the attitude of my boat in calmer water. (I think there's a MAJOR difference between our boats in the way the drives carry the boat... Extension boxes

I don't think my boat will be going anywhere for a while. It seems to haul the mail pretty well for what it is and I like the way she runs. Besides that it's PAID FOR!

Between you, me, Doug and my cousin all running together with dry/open exhaust, we must have made a ton of racket out there!

Doug's boat really sings!---it sounds so good! And it is one beautiful boat---he was getting a TON of compliments! When he pulled up to the launch ramp eveybody that was around was staring at his boat and waiting for him to fire it up---it got everyone's attention!

You really think those boxes are the answer eh? Shhh---don't tell anyone!

We had a great time! Brought some new people up this year and they had a great time as well. Thursday sucked with all the rain but once we found some rain ponchos we had allot of fun, allot!

Fri. was a rough start, my cover leaked water and the boat was sitting low in the front on the trailer. I found nearly a foot of water in the cabin. Everything in the boat was soaked. It even leaked into the glove box and killed my camera.

It was great to see everyone! Once again we had a riot hanging with the indiana crew around the camp ground. As my wife katie said "they are genuinely nice guys, I like them". Hope you guys made it back without problems! we can't wait to do some sledding this winter.

Thanks, wolfman for the ride friday!

Dreamer, thanks for the great entertainment with the boxing. Sorry we came so close but it was a tight fit to spin the boat around in the middle of the cove. A couple sprays of wd40 made it fit though.

Rookie, sorry you could not find any blankets as usual, you and I always have a riot.

JimV, we had a fun little party towing you back! I am glad we stopped and had you and rookie hop on the boat. Your a pro for driving in reverse to the cove

Overall it was a great weekend with litlle damage. Some azz bag hit MR's boat (red/white challenger) while it was beached near the ramp. They ran right up the back and said nothing. He was not there, so if anyone knows who did it I am sure he would like to have a chat with them.

Smitty - It was nice meeting you and your wife this weekend, never ate better at Hardy !

KAAMA - Nice meeting you as well. Your AT was awsome.

Weather sucked, but laying down 122.4 in the HTM was awsome. I seen 12 or so people video taping me in the channel, I hope someone posts up the footage . I must have made 7 or 8 120mph passes Sunday morning.

Todd thanks for picking up Jim and I and giving me a place to crash. Saturday night was a blast, especially the ride back. JimV might have one of the fastest 27' Fountains around but that B#tch is slow as he// in reverse coming from the dam to the cove.

It was great to meet everyone, so many faces and names all at once. Those Indiana guys are not all that bad!

Midnight I am sorry about your boat and thanks for the Drain Plug.

If anyone knows what happened to my case of Bud Light please let me know, I had it Saturday night but was gone when I woke up Sunday morning.
