Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Eric,

Boat looks great. Good luck in 2005.

Re: Dont be a scared.....

Re: Dont be a scared.....

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Bruce ,

Did Eric say if he liked the power of the Mercury better then the Vortec??????

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Dennis....power is Awesome!!! What a difference. The boat is running right where it needs to be. Eric is tickled pink.

Klaatu, what do you mean???

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Good to hear Bruce!!!! Nothing but the best for Eric and his team in 2005. Now it makes sense why he was hanging around Billy M. the whole time in Key West. Really want to see that boat run well this year.

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

my work schedule is crazy right now. I dont think I will make it down until Sarasota

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Willy and Larry were out on LAKE "H" today too and running as strong as ever.

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Lake "H" aka the Hackensack River is located in NJ near Giants stadium

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

I was born in Hackensack Hospital and my first boat ride ever was on the Hackensack River. I was not even a year old and my Dad had me buzzing down the river in his Glastron at the time. Where were the pics of Eric's boat taken, Raritan River or Lake R???

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

yesterday's pics were at Randys shop and in the Raritan Bay. near Weapons Station Earl. Atlantic Highlands

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Thanks, Is there an ITS box on the back of Eric's boat now???

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

No...hes running the Imco Box

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Kool!!!

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

boat looks great Eric I see you gave up on the drill detail , look forward to seeing it in person in biloxi , we were testing this weekend also , its shaping up nice this year for our class

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Had a short day testing today do a 90 MPH barrel roll at lake H. Everyone is OK and we were checked out at the local hospital. Lucky for us the boat landed right side up and did no damage to the boat except we left the scoop there as a natural habitat for the fish. Thank god for safety equipment and a canopy over our head. I STRONGLY suggest that anyone who has a chance to be in a canopy boat make sure you are comfortable with the dunk test. It happens so quick and is very disoriented on you senses. We are all looking for speed and sometimes over look the handling in doing so.
MD and Eric Cormier :eek:

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

You got away with that one. All the way around? Where you turning?

You and Eric? Ok, fess up, who sh*t thier pants?

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

till they double barrel rolled. I wanted to wait for Randy to reply.

It was quite a scare. Especially, watching from land completely unable to render assistance.

Really Glad you guys are ok :p

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

I checked the cockpit.....no doo doo. just blood

the pics are gory. so I recommend you dont look if you have a weak tummy :eek:

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

:p
lake H.. Continental Arena in the background

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

goin out for a spin :p (no pun intended)

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

and then :eek:

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Despite the bad pics I am just glad they are both OK!!!!

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Wow, glad to hear that you guys are ok and the boat is Ok (you are not getting turning lessons from that "nut" willy are you ?) , It is a paradox you have to push it to the edge while testing to find allittle more and you can't have helo's and medic boats out there . about all you can do is have a chase boat out with you ( of course ours this weekend was a jetski) not a perfect system for sure but better than nothing . hey take care and keep it in one piece for the start in two weeks, SO now that we got that out of the way how was she running right before the crash loose is fast so you guys had to be there ??
Larry

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

The boat was screaming just before the roll. Luckily, Willy and Jay Muller were right there watching the run, when they rolled. The boat ended up idling to shore. Willy and Jay towed them back to the docks without incident. It fired right up afterwards and drove onto the trailer. Boat is fine and Im sure Randy and Eric will be too, in a few days.

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Damn Randy!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Did you have a helmut on??? :confused:

Other than the other canopy boat, did you guys have another open boat available in case you needed to get someone to shore in an emergency?

Glad to see everyone is ok.

So how did it happen?

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

Which boat? The yellow one? Or Randy's?

What cut Randy? Did he have the helmet on? Strapped in?

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

yellow

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

WOw!! Glad you are OK. That is a nasty gash. Were you wearing a lid?? What did you hit your head on??

Re: Dont be a scared.....
 

C'mon, someone spill the beans, what happened.

Let's see, Sideshow was at the wheel and Randy had the throttle.

Randy: Hey Sideshow, look at that barge heading our way, wanna jump the wake?

Sideshow: OK, keep it trimmed out, this new engine is great.

Something like that??
