I have a Q though.

In some of the pictures I have seen of it on the lift it looks like it sticks WAY out of the dock. I didn't think you could do that at LOTO?
I'm at LOTO. My new boat sticks way out of my dock, about 7+ feet from the end of the dock and 5' from the end of the roof. Our condo complex allows you to stick out 8', which is more than most.. I have never heard of a Ameron rule applying to private residences, but i could be wrong.

I hate to say this but you get the ignorant post award for this thread... Taddle Tale??

The cool thing about trav is he has a bad a** boat, he knows it and doesn't waste his time proclaiming to the world how bad as* it is. He is happy because of the the fun that it brings him and his friends and that is all that matters. He is a down to earth guy that doesn't waste his time in the petty I'm faster than you BS. As Tom said Trav has never claimed anything about speed or otherwise.

A post like that just makes you look immature and actually casts a negative light on Travis and his boat to anyone that doesn't actually know him.

Tom recently kicked some serious a** in the Bimini Race in his pleasure TG Unlimited in some very snotty water. I for one have a great deal of respect for someone that gets out there and races in a real open ocean race and would never have the audacity to post such a rediculous statement.

I am sure he will still give you a wave as you pass him this weekend as you enjoy the launch from the quality wake of his 50 whatever foot Sea Ray.

Actually the Sea Ray is a measly 48 and really doesn't dig that big of a hole...but I'm sure we'll (Jayboat) get some really nice pics if Travis does fly by!

And yes it was the recall on the speedo...LOL! You know what they say about not being able to fix stupid.

And for the record I have NEVER disrespected Travis and his boat. As a matter of fact I posted a $1,000 reward along with Anthony to find out who stole Travis' stereo and fvcked with his boat.

All that said, I'd still like to run with him someday...but at the moment my Cig is in Miami just waiting to have some more open water fun!

Lastly set your recorders for Nov 21 and you can see me pacing the Sunny Isles OPA races that will be shown on the Versus network.

Now lets all have some fun this weekend; its Shootout time and LOTO is center stage! Be safe and enjoy!

I can't agree with you more he is a stand up guy with a bad a$$ boat. I have never heard him talk about being the fastest or claiming this or that. He has always been let's go boating and have a good time wether it's 50 or 100+ it don't matter.

There have been rumors that Ameren is going to try to enforce something about boats sticking out of docks, but for now it's just rumors. There are way too many 26 foot tritoons hanging out of 18 foot slips for them to do too much about it.

I know it was a recall, just a smart remark. I dont disrespect anyone who loves doing the same thing I love doing, it just something to talk about and keep the blood in my vains boiling untill the weekend gets here. Also creates competetion for the weekend if you know what I mean. I think WL is a bad mother and I will proclaim it untill i cant type anymore.
