F14 in his 28' Speed Racer and me in my 308 will be taking some friends on a 140+ mile rip from the Delta to San Francisco Bay, under the Golden Gate, etc this Saturday. Supposed to be low 60's with some sun. Hopefully run up the Petaluma River on the way back. We tried to get Nice Pair in his 28 to join us but his much better half has plans for him, hopefully those "plans" are worth missing an epic boating day.

I should know the weight of my bare 30 when Skater picks it off the dolly to put it back on it's trailer next week. Hoping it comes in around 3,000-3,200#s. It's an all carbon/epoxy build and was really light as an inboard setup - just under 7,000#s dry. Our target weight is 5,000#s dry once completed. Besides that, just waiting to see what Mercury unveils at Miami so I know what motors it's going to get.

Hey Rob, you guys have fun Saturday, and don't beat up on Brian in my old 28 out in the bay. I'll be in my garage all day finishing up my STV........

That's it, I quit, I've hung up my boat.





Until my trailer's painted.

NP, two weeks and the trailer will be done, right....................
Dale, I promise to be nice to F14 out in the Bay. It will be the 1st time Bullhead Bully has been in the Bay. It will be interesting to hear his thoughts on a 28 Nordic vs 28 Skater in the Bay. We won't bother comparing his 28 Nordic vs my 308. Get that STV done, can't wait to see it ripping up the backwaters of the Delta. I believe Kevin Kraft is joining F14 for our run on Saturday.

If any of you guys are looking for a good set of rough water props I have a set of 5 blade thru-hub Dewald’s to sell in a 29P. They are 14.5 diameter and 20 degree rake.
They worked really well on my boat until the slip got to high due to motor height.

Wish I could make it. Have fun, take lots of pics, and be safe!

what an excellent time to sharpen the bottom!

Thanks David, Hows the New Year so far? :-)
