Default Sunshine Key to K.W .... 17min 3-4's = Hellfire

Wow what a run......Hellfire (Turbine 46 Skater) was smokin on Thursday's poker run out to K.W.

We ran 115 to 135 on that portion of the poker run. There are few words to explain the feeling of driving a 46 Skater in crystal blue water with the sun shining and your friends around you( Dan, Ralph, Phil,Rob).

Not sure who owned the 45 Cig Maximus but he looked great as we entered the gulftream and can testify when he saw us light the candle and let her run.

All the boats looked fantastic and the people were great! Nortech's put on quite a show at Conch Republic Friday. You Apache guys would have been stunned at the V hardware. Spectres new 32 was on display.

Did any one get any snapshots as we left on Saturday? Threw a little tail for the crowd.


Many Thanks to Rob Garcia owner of Hellfire.

Cuda,
Rob was on the stix I had the wheel for the weekend. It's a lot of boat for one person to handle at speed. I was VERY careful!!! She is simply incredible!!!!!

Hellfire was awesome as usual.

We got trapped Sunday in the harbor until 3:45pm. Had to get back to Miami before dark. We made it back in 2 hours and 15 minutes running 80mph the entire way. Go Philly, go Richie Zul.
