Congratulations Tom on a pair of nice runs with your 24!!!! Saw one of the runs. Did not get to see David's boat run but bet it sounded great! Look forward to some videos from you guys

Well. I have tons of photos and video but am dog tired and the boat is still in the water. The 308 was a beast in the LOTO waters. I met Chris Mills. He let Jim Sykes and I take Jim Lee's 28 out for a run. The windshield is amazing and Chris's execution was spot on.

I met Tom Kennedy at the awards ceremony. Great guy who has to carry them around in a wheel barrow. 121 with bone stock 300X's in this heat and humidity was amazing.

But my real hero David and his beautiful wife were the real treat to meet and spend time with. 116 was a great run he had half fuel tanks and 150lbs of play sand in the back of the 36

We definitely need to do a Outboard Skaterfest and get everyone together.

Lake Lanier is about 8 from Springfield so that should work. Wife and I did talk about trying to make the poker run there at some point. Summer is pretty well done as far as traveling to boat for us... I assume we are talking next year? We are going to finally make the worlds in KW this year but no boat.

How about Lake Tenkiller in eastern OK. Jennifer and I have been discussing since the LOTO weekend. Our lake is pristine and very easy to get to. Just off I 40. I live next to a resort owner. can get good rates or I have a friend that has top notch multi family house rentals with docks close. Thinking nest year fall for best consistent weather and no traffic. Let's talk. Good meeting Dave Walters and Tom Kennedy. Sorry Mile (Primer Performance) that we did not connect. Just lunched one of my XS's. Piston trashed my new Dewald prop as well. I guess it is just part of the game.
