The Outboard Church

It's been a few years since I had a decent bike.

Been missing it every time I come home. So I did something about it and got me a new 250sx smoker! My last 2 stroke was years ago, and all I hear is good things about the Ktm's quality and performance.

So this is waiting for me when I get back, gonna go riding with my son this winter...

Rev, what are you rolling in for Hookie Day? Weather permitting we plan to launch in Benicia and make a nice long day of it. I would guess it will end up being at least 150 miles total. Wish I had room to invite you in our Skater but my awesome wife already filled it.

Nice bike! I'm still rollin my '88 KX500. I just can't find anything that has a power and I like like the mine. I did decide though that I WILL get one of the new fuel injected KTM 300's when they come to the US in the next couple years

I thought the injected ktms were here already

Filet boating no hamburger ��

Jeeeesus that was fun !!

Great day

F14's new to him "Speed Racer" 28' Skater is a fantastic Delta boat. It feels like a sports car and can still get over the big wakes without a problem. I can't wait for his new windscreens to get installed. 5 years of warranty on the new motors is awesome.

Late, but still hot !

Please say it ain't so!!! The coast will be there still on Saturday. I'm trying to get Church Dog Dale out there in his new to him STV 300XS so you would have someone to play with.

Sounds like a certain 28 Doug Wright will probably be out that day also. Showing us 120+ mph with stock 300XS power. Gonna be a fantastic day.

We rode 175 miles ....9am to 6:30 pm. It was a special tour through the Gold Country...mines, cemeteries....awesome run.

Think Pink ...

Weekend wench!

9th inning walk off homerun by the Panda...

Wedding party had a good time!

Festive outfit...

Bully and I are headed on a serious boating trip!

First to the FT Lauderdale boat show....see the new OB engines!!?? 450??

Then to Key West for the world offshore championships...meeting Riverdave and his wife.

Then to Georgia to visit my buddy...who just happened to buy Bully's 35' Fountain! He has a pad at Lake Lanier, and we are going to do 3 days of Lanier!

Ok Delta brethren ,

Tell me what I missed? Did Dale "Bat-Turn the STV Euro?:eek

I got to go to a rehearsal dinner...:rolleyes

A few Hookie Day shots posted via FB ...

F14 having some fun on cruiser wakes
It was a fantastic day with over 40 boats. No Church Dog, his STV wasn't up to his standards so it's getting some other goodies added prior to him running it. We did have at least 7 twin OB and a few other single OB representing. Sorry you & Kev missed it

Fresh Freak!

Splendid ...

Hey guys just thought I'd drop in! This is Nick from Lake Powell Challenge that ate dinner with the Rev and Bully! Hope all is well gentlemen! Love the thread, one day I'll have something with a 400R hanging on the back of it. Great pics in this thread too btw, I'm a big fan!

Welcome !
It was great meeting you at dinner that night. Really looking forward to next summer. I’m leaving my truck and boat at the airport in page of a hanger for the summer next year so I will be there a lot. We definitely need to hook up and run. Definitely get something with the 400 or 400s hanging off the back. You?ll never look back.

Thanks guys! Definitely looking forward to getting some running in with you guys. My boat is having the motors pulled as we speak and getting a refresh, also redoing some cosmetics on her so she will be ready for the new season!

That new M33 with the 400s is awfully appealing, I'm excited to see how it comes out and possibly get a run in one. I think it would be an excellent lake Powell boat!

Served hot!
