E-Dock Photo Shoot

jayboat · Jul 24, 2009

Spent the weekend in Grand Lake, Oklahoma on a feature shoot for H2O Full Throttle Magazine. Had a blast with the boys and girls of E-Dock-- probably the baddest collection of hardware to be found in one place anywhere.

One for the ages. E-Dock Rules - a set on Flickr

Absolutely amazing photos jayboat! Thank you for sharing them! One of these days I'd like to go out to the east coast to see how the other half of the country does it.

Thanks for the nice comments!

Dave, if you come this way, I'd suggest either the Jacksonville Poker Run or Key West in Nov during the week of the world championship. Both great events.

Here's the wakemaker- 57 Carver, Special Pimpmo Edition.

HOLLY SHIT!!!

I thought I tended to get some air in my little boat when I would get the lower unit out of the water! MY GOD!

I wonder how hard the landing is in those tunnels from that high up since they trap the air and dont use the water as a cushion as much as the V's do.

They were definitely bringin' it- especially Brandon (blue/yelo Skater), Michael (Hammertime) and Tyson (Gladiator). They were hittin' that wake at 100+. Fearless!

They were landing right beside us, literally within a 150ft and closer... it was different, being able to hear the hull slap down on the water. Not as loud as I though it would be, tho.

The tunnel traps the air and compresses it more so than just the water. Its a little harder landing where as the Vee just displaces the water and is a little softer. Thats one of the biggest differences I notice between my Uncle's boat and my boat. His is a tunnel and tends to slap the water when not aired out or coming down from getting some air. Versus where mine tends to kinda slice into the water.

sean · Jul 24, 2009

ok i'll be the one... that f2CKIN NUTZ! awesome pix but i can only imagine how rough those landings were

Sean, your boat can do it! No problemo! I'm telling you bring that sumbitch to CA and we'll take it to Catalina!

Nope. Thats why I said I wonder. The experience I have in tunnels vs. Vee's in that situation is limited to smaller boats and that is what I have noticed in them.

sean · Jul 24, 2009

ya uhhh thats my concern dave. last time i skied like that the landing stalled the engine. i like it better in the water.

The landing stalled the engine? What kinda crack pot, duct tape bullshit is that?

RD

sean · Jul 25, 2009

well it was the lil red boat from the other thread and it had something to do with landing on the swimsteps

im sure this boat would be better but to take a big jump like that at a hundred... foook that:fingers:

You ain't kiddin. Brandon was hitting the wake at 110 on a few of the passes.

Spine Tingler broke a six drive and had some 'issues'- he was jumping hard every time and over the course of both days probably had 30 jumps.

Can't put a price on fun.

You swear like id turn down a ride in a bitchin boat! lol!

jayboat · Jul 31, 2009

Even the jetskis were getting into the spirit that day.

A good one of Hammertime- one of my favorite MTI's.

Outnumbered · Jul 31, 2009

Crazy. Reminds me of jumping the tour boat wake at Powell. I about shit my pants hitting it at 40 mph. I was not expecting the hang time I got. Those guys are nuts.:bowdown:

jayboat · Aug 1, 2009

Here's a shot of the actual dock.

jayboat · Aug 30, 2009

this one has my vote for thread of the week.

Magic34 · Sep 25, 2009

The Skater in the very first pic is way up there. That Cig is flying too.

jayboat · Sep 25, 2009

Yeah, man... everybody was airborne. I won't soon forget that weekend.

jayboat · Oct 28, 2009

Is it cold where you are? :champagne:

RiverDave · Oct 28, 2009

Cold is relative..

I think it's freezing outside, but I think it's 68 degrees?

Everyone was airborne that day.

Here's another good one of Spine Tingler... you can see the two guys on the port side leaning over to help level it out!

MMD · Nov 3, 2009

I congratulate you on the pictures - they really capture the moments and I swear I can almost hear the roar of the motors and drives (and that chick in the Cigarette you caught screaming during the jump).

Good stuff, thanks! :champagne:

Just got my article of h20 full throttle this week and was reading that article last night, i take it these photos were the ones published within, looks like a few of the shots are identical.

I like a lot of things about that magazine, i'm not referring to the fact that its all about $500,000+ equipment, i just like the way it's edited and layed out, it doesn't seem as full of bullshit and advertising like other boating magazines, it's very clean, pleasing to the eye, and easily keeps your attention.

Glad you like the book, I'll pass your nice words along to Ned. I would wager he wouldn't mind a few more ad pages in there.

Some of the shots were used in the mag- I don't have any editorial control over which ones are chosen for publication. But here... I post my favorites.

I shot over 3000 frames that weekend, so I got a few left.

Here's the first poster from the shoot. Available in two sizes: 12x48 or 16x72.

jayboat · Dec 10, 2009

I keep finding more good ones...

paint and hardware come together in perfect harmony.
