Inner that was so cool that you not only got to attend, but also came in second, Good representing bro!

Sick let's see some in the water pics of that boat! How is it running?

Jeff, Thanks so much for inviting me along at the last minute with
your brother, his son and Mike. I really had the time of my life!
To say I'm impressed with your boat is an understatement. I'm
amazed how fast it really is considering you had more throttle to go. Those 300's are awsome! Can't get over how many times we
came out of the water. I'd also like to thank Mike and his dad for
hosting a real class act event. I think everyone had a great time
and also a contribution for a good cause. My best to all, George.

Im guessing he didn't get the message jeff, I was hoping someone got him some cuz the the 25s were going on my boat and i'm now sure I need them, 4 guys 3 full coolers, full of fuel pulling 5200 in a little chop, i'll worry about that after mike and I put a crank and rods in one motor.....wtf

Some nice boats.
nice to put some faces with some names.
Good people & good times!!

And $500

First of all, nice meeting you Jeff, albeit briefly at the ramp.

I had quite an interesting day. I didn't really know what to expect at the start, but I wasn't expecting it to start so soon. I was in that back of the pack, facing the wrong way when I heard everyone hammer down. I got on plane and ran it hard for 7 miles, passing about 15 boats. I was right behind Jeff, when...BOOM!...a noise like I have never heard came from the motor and the smartcraft started alarming. I pulled off plane and opened the hatch expecting to find a disaster, but nothing seemed wrong and the alarms stopped. Thanks to the guys in the Formula who stopped to check on us...I think you are on the board. And thanks to OCD and Slboatdrinks for checking up on me as well. I was gonna head back to fall river but slboatdrinks convinced me to run it. I did..at 4000-4200 RPM for the rest of the day without any problems but my oil pressure is low. The scan tomorrow will let us know what went BOOM. I skipped some of the stops to "keep the mileage down."

All in all, a great run at a great price. I will be back next year.

Nice to meet a bunch of the cpba guys - innerage, jeff, scot, sick, etc...

Glad to hear ya'll had so much fun! Sick, how'd the boat run, you ghet any props to try yet?

wow sorry to hear you had troubles, I broke a bolt that holds one of my outboards on that could have been a bad situation, didnt even notice it until I goit back to the start point.

Sounded like there was quite a bit of carnage one of the guys who ran with us got put in the back near nopper and I and they told him to spin his boat around, They told me too also. He got sideways put it in gear and clank clunk cluk all you heard was props on rocks! Thank god I decided not to try and spin my boat around, though I did get a chip in the back of my strake in there, Rediculous putting boats back there.

I dont think they knew it was that shallow in there or they probably wouldnt have put us back there.


How did Ernie make out at the end anyone know?

I overheard that one of the Cig bullets cooked a motor near the end of the run as well.
