Took out the '68 and blasted the back roads with my boy...

Good stuff!

105 mph out of a 1.6 liter 4 cyl.

It's faster than 99.9% of all jet boats...LMAO!

Love this plane. Great mileage, fast, reliable, great electronics. Best of all, a great pilot is flying it. The Bully can fly like a pro. Seat time is the key to anything.

It's the "daily driver" of planes. We will be airborne next Wednesday:champagne:

Have fun at Powell. I'm very jealous. How long is the flight from Oroville to Page? Sure hope there is Church presence at Hookie Day Oct 6.

We were everywhere!

Nordic...
Fallon Marine..
AJ's shop ...
Bully's pad...
Dinner with Joe Abellera...

Then back in the plane to So Cal so we can pick up two friends for Powell.

We should be in Powell tomorrow by 2 pm. I'm sure we will blast a 150 miles before dinner. All the shops were prepping boats for the Powell Challenge.

Outstanding pics:thumbup: Looks like a great trip. Its on the list.

Next summer we are going to take your new boat and my new boat there. Also my friend with his 21 liberator will join. Maybe we can round up one more 22 foot or smaller tunnel. We will have a Small regatta of our own.

I had the awesome opportunity to show a very close friend who's never been to Powell the lake. Jerry May has been boating forever and never seen Powell.
We covered as much ground as we could and two full days.
Thursday after the storm went for a quick run to Padre Bay. Then finished off with Navajo Canyon.

Friday morning we sent out straight to Halls Crossing. With a stop in Cathedral Canyon on the way. On the way back we went up The Escalante river saw the ruins. Dangling rope along with a few other canyons along the way.

Saturday morning we left a bit earlier. We were out of the marina by 8:15. Made it to rainbow bridge in 27 minutes. Have the awesome opportunity to walk up to rainbow bridge with zero Tourists and zero Rangers we have the entire place to ourselves. Pretty unbelievable. After rainbow bridge we went up The San Juan river approximately 20 miles. Zero people zero boats completely awesome! Left their went through three more awesome canyons across from Cathedral Canyon. Stopped off at dangling rope for a quick ice cream. Rock Creek to the cave. Last chance bay all the way to the end and back.

Our speed I would say most of the time was right around 60 to 70 mph. We finished off running almost 450 miles in 11.5 hours.

For those of you that have been to Powell you understand it's not about how fast run. That lake is definitely a lake you don't want to be in a hurry. The scenery is just far too amazing to blow through it quickly.

Really enjoyed hanging out with everybody from the lake Powell challenge. The banquet last night was awesome.

Truly a perfect and unforgettable weekend.
