New Year's Runs!
 

Did 2 trips over the New Year's holiday this past week and put about 180 miles on the boat. Had some great "anchored" shots of the boat, but until now never had any great running shots. The first run was with the Ft Myers Offshore group last Saturday from Sanibel down to Marco (pics by Naples Image - Jay Nichols) and the second trip was the Annual Ryan Beckley NYD - Joey Gratton Memorial Run on Wednesday from Sarasota to Tarpon Point in Brandenton...Not ideal conditions, but we had a blast along side 60 other boats.

Nice shots, just visited my boat last weekend, we have 30" of snow, I got my lifted 4x4 Suburban stuck in snow so deep I left an imprint of the front end.

Looking good! I'm jealous. Going to be 0* here tonight, brrrrrrrr

Awsome pictures. Good looking boat. Bob

Thanks guys! Now, it'll be time to do some maintenance and get it ready for the rest of 2014. ;)

Great pics, that really is a nice looking boat.

Great shots! Boat is Beautiful!

Nice wish i was there

I saw yal at both runs. I was running the 42 OL. I still love the old 30 velocity. What power is in it?

Thanks!

I assume the orange/red/yellow OL?

Previous owner dropped a set of 502 mpi's in it. No mods, just plain ole 415's. Putting some SM exhaust on it now. As it sits its run 79 and change with 2 of us in the boat.

Nice. . What ya running for props? Hydros are the fastest.

Yep. QIV 28's turning in. ;)

Way cool Jeff.
Great shots of the boat and looks like perfect conditions to play. A bit sketchy for the passengers maybe........ ;)

One of the most classic designs of all times.

Thanks Gary!

On New Year's Day, it was slightly less than ideal (to put it mildly :poopoo:) on Tampa Bay...We pulled out of the Maximo cut, and it was 3'-4's and I looked over at my buddy and asked if he was sure he wanted to go. Lol... Wasn't as bad coming home, because we were running right into it and I could let the bow cut thru it. Still had a blast and made it back to the trailer with no issues other than one blade taking a hit from a cavitation zinc that fell off (can't imagine why...haha :coolcowboy: :evilb: :D)

Very nice boat...great pictures too.

Ya that got a little lumpy! but what a blast!
