Default Who has the Yellow Canopy Reggie Boat??

Yesterday Debi and I had just got back from a nice run from Ogen Dunes over to New Buffalo and were sitting off Boaters Beach when this "noisemaker" approached from Michigan City.
First from a distance I thought it was a cat from the way it was riding on top but as it got closer I could see it was a canopy V-Bottom race boat.We gave 'em the thumbs up as he went by and wicked up on the sticks for us.
Who ever you are we think your ride is really cool...

I was floating outside Michigan City and he went by at a pretty good clip. Stayed on the throttles pretty hard on the way up to New Buffalo. Wonder what power he is running? It sounded pretty healthy!

Dan, I came by twice, because you always have your camera. Thanks for all the kind words, I will be happy to give rides when the opportunity arises.

I heard just a little more than that.
I let him tell.

Dan, awesome boat! You had it tied up in Michigan City near the Yacht Club. We were tied up just around the corner by the lighthouse.

Just stock 525' 6 drives w/crash boxes, and a blast to drive. Smart craft shows 114 mph - I went 105 yesterday. Still a lot of learning to do.

Yeah Dan, that boat is beautiful. Sunday, I did'nt know it was your boat till a guy on the dock said that he saw your truck and trailer in the parking lot. All morning I was askin everyone, who has the yellow/orange Fountain on the lakefront.
Jamie Brown said that it must be your boat, since your truck & trailer are parked in front of mine.

Good luck this weekend Dan. Any luck on those tranny's??? If not, call me, and I'll put you in touch with another contact. Might want to keep those boxes in for this weekend tho.
