Default Dickinson Bay Fountains Saturday Morning ????

Who owns the yellow fountain tht was tearing up the channel form the bayou to Dollar Point. VERY impressive roostertail and the engines sounded great all the way across the bay,


there was also another fountain (35 or so) white with red/blk striping cutting across the middle of Dickinsan Bay making a short "pitstop" ...... yes everyone on shore noticed. Your engines sounded great as well.

Ken A., a TOPPS' board member just got the yellow Fountain. My 2 buddies were riding with him. I was in the boat the day he got it. VERY fast with twin 1150/1350 Sterlings. Can't say on this site how fast the boat is but ask me the next time you see me. T

I posted some a while back under the photo section in the Fountain thread. Currently, the pics are on page 2. The rooster tail is a great photo.

Yep (won't enter it though). We have a lot of friends coming over from Lake Charles also.

Not much of a secret as to how fast that boat is. It was listed in Powerboat at 130mph. I have been in the boat at 126.

Hey Tommy-
Saw you going out this weekend and thought you might be testing for the TOC event!
Seems like we never have our boats running the same time.

I put 380 K-Planes on and was testing and getting used to them. I could win the Black Thunder class at TOC (ha).

Wasn't trying to make it a big secret. Was trying to keep info. from insurance lurkers. Let's just say it has different props now.
