Thank you but remember it's not a race ��

I agree - I don't think I referred to it as one though. Even if everyone pushed their boats to the bridge, someone would have gotten there first.Hey, it was a fun, safe day.

Great seeing you Vinny as always!!!! I build the wrap around windshields and I didn't have the heart to change Good ol Freedom US1. Its been a fantastic boat over the years and I'll let someone else have fun with her. :) The Double Take 46 Skater looked like a great boat to put our New Lee Aerospace Manufactured Wrap around windshield on so I bought it!! :)

Right on Jim

Good to hear Double Take is going to a good home. Miss seeing that boat around LOTO, it always sounded angry!

No more Freedom, say it ain't so? ... In all seriousness, congrats Jim!!

Thanks!! If freedom could talk!! Wow what a story??? 21 years old and ready to Rock!!! I can't even begin to think of how many miles that boat has spent over 100 MPH. Race boat for 7 years , poker run boat for 14. It's entertained countless people over the years!!! It will be cool seeing someone else in the boat. When I think of Freedom US1 and all the memories all I can do is Smile. :)

Congrats on the new ride Jim. It's going to be one sweet ride with a wrap around windshield.
It's definitely going to be weird seeing someone else driving Freedom......that's for sure.
See you at the Shootout!

Thanks! Yes really weird not running around in Freedom. My first ride in that boat was 1997 when Bob Morgan and I raced it in SBI open class. Ton of great memories.

I'm liking this shot more and more. :cool-smiley-011:

The girl on the left is beautiful. I cast my vote for boater girl of the year.

Tristian..... I think she has been :)

Maybe we can get one like that at LOTO with new owners in the boats :)

She's also smart and can operate and drive a 46 Skater!!

She is beautiful no doubt...............

Congrats Jim!!!!
That's one Bad Ass boat 👍👍

Thanks!!!

I'm sure we can figure something out. :ernaehrung004:

Great work as usual Jaybird! See you in LOTO in a few weeks. I'll have to behave as the boss is making the trip this year. Some of the advantages of being new Empty Nesters!:snide:

Look for my boat as we need some prints for the man cave....

Thanks to everyone who attended and helped me out making this year the biggest yet. I cant express enough how great it is to hang with all my Skater Bro's for the weekend, It's great to run the boats but even better to hang with all my friends. Already looking forward to next year. See everyone in Key West

And Jay.........#102 is a Nortech, LOL

Yeah, yeah... it was such a cool shot I couldn't help myself. :cartman:

Had a blast, as usual. Thanks for everything, Ronnie.

Thanks for having us Ron!! The Freedom Crew and everybody had a blast!!! See you in Key West !!! Thanks for Double Take!! :) :)

Thanks for having us. Beautiful skaters and wonderful people. Thank you for the wonderful time Ron. We will see you next year. Ray and Katie

Hey Jim before you Retire Freedom don't forget to mock up those valve covers for me. I need a 2 sets of those. Ray

Ok. Tyson needs to make the aluminum base and I can build the poly hard coated covers. Thanks for reminding me. Maybe I can build a set for the Sterlings I have now as well. They look cool!

Yes Thanks again Ronnie

Congrats on the new boat. Double Take is a beautiful ride!! She will look great with a wraparound windshield.

It's pretty cool having Freedom at PBC. She is an awesome boat also! Surprised your selling her.

Freedoms been a great ride!!!! Heartbreaker for sure letting her go but Double Take has a few things I've been looking for in a boat. I didn't go to Detroit planing to buy a different Skater but Double Take got my attention. Freedom is a beautiful skater and always will be. Had a blast with Freedom :)
