I heard that there was a 50 Cat launching at Hammond. Anyone have pics to post?????

Pics are all on Magic Medicine's camera. We tailed them out onto the lake and ran with them up to about 60, then right before they went thru the wall, they shut it down...some kind of charging problem...and we towed them in. Then I fell in the lake, so my phone is now dead.

The owner is Austin of Medicine Man fame...it'll be in Diversey harbor this summer. 170 mph on twin 1600 hp turbines. Pretty freakin cool.

Oh yeah...the boat is WARBIRD...you can look it up on Turbine Marine's homepage.

The first pic is Austin's new boat.

The second pic is Dennis the Menace.
Look to see both boats at the Chicago Poker Run.

Austins boat is sick! Mike I didn't think the water was warm enough to warrent swimming!

Cool looking boat

Swimming? YIKES!! I bet that was the fastest trip you ever made to the ladder.

It was not done purposely! It was done attempting to keep that monster from hitting a pole while docking. For some reason, one person pulling on a line doesn't have much effect on a 50-foot cat! Now that I think about it...this is the SECOND 50 foot Nortech I have fallen while trying to help dock! I went in at Diversey a few years back helping Steve Dowding bring his 50 V "Royal Flush" into a raft-up.

So, to all you guys with 50 foot Nortechs...I'll be excusing myself when you come in...please understand!

That sunpad looks a little small on Austin's new boat. I wonder where he plans to put all the babes he usually has out with him.
