I got the opportunity to roll out in this boat about 4-5 weeks ago. As it turns out I met Rick about 15 years ago on Castaic when he had his "Brummett" powered Twin Turbo Conquest Top Cat 1. (Another boat that would put most on the trailer)
Anyhow I've been waiting to "re-film" the boat because I'm not happy with what I got when we took it out. (lots of vibration in the video) We've missed each other for a couple weekends now, and I keep trying to connect to get it done. Either way I thought it was kinda humorous that I was on my way up to the HTM deal at Pirates, and I heard him coming with another guy on the hook.
In the Poontoon I actually had enough time to walk over and get the camera out while they ripped past us.
Rick in his RPM coming up on the Port side
Victim going around the starboard side
Another guy going home with a bruised Ego.
If you aren't in the legit 120's, you aren't going to catch Rick. That boat is ridiculous fast even in the humidity / heat.
If you don't believe me call Mario down at Socal Speed and Marine. His shops currently full of broken HTM's that tried last weekend.
