Cleans up nice! :) Looks real sharp from 5' away, up close though it needs to be fixed up a bit.. But we're working on it, slowly but surely.

RD

Spectra's lookin GOOD; man that wood is lookin' PROPER! I've done all I can do with mine; it's been sanded too many times. It looks like I'll have to redo the clear if I wanna clean it up any more. It looks good from about 10 feet :)

who made that ski tow for you................I sure could use oneofthose ;)

RD custom made that himself. He gave us a play by play a while back on how he did it.

Check his blog here and see if it's there.

Thanks again for coming out and helping Zack. We had a great weekend. I can't believe you let Dave sucker you into changing that prop...brrr. We can't wait to meet your girlfriend...you'll have to bring her out next time:beer

No problem, I'd wanted to get out there earlier but it wasn't in the cards. The water wasn't that bad, I'm just a big wuss:D Looking forward to seeing how the chick handles the river scene before I give her the :thumbsup

I think I'm onto an ingenious marketing plan here..

Losing your hair? Pecker too small? Insecure about your weight? No problem.. Just go get yourself one of these fancy new Schiada's and all your problems go away! :D

RD

Schiada not enough??? Skater may have what you need... :beer:D

This one is for you Keith!! LOL Boatcop would've had a coronary would he stands if he saw this boat run.. LOL It was cool to see a full fledged drag boat on the beach at Foxes though.. and when nobody was around he made a pass or two. (I wasn't there for that, but people were talking about it at the bar..)

This thing isn't a boat for "looks" dude actually gets out there and runs it. Not so sure about the ski life jackets though. :D

I removed the 1st pic because it had his AZ #'s in it.. I don't want to get the dude in trouble for anything.

RD
damm that thing Is beautiful.. I think I just came.. oops got to go !:D

That looks like an old T-deck Cole. Great looking boat, and I'm sure there are about 15 minutes each day it would be fun to play with on the strip. :D:beer

It was actually a Canyon flat runner with a 522 Hemi in it running nitrous that night for a couple afternoon passes....Gary definitely runs it as he did that night.....it was great to watch from foxes dock...the flames being thrown in the dusk were great...another great end to a good 90 degree MARCH weekend...:)

Where you been, you told me you were gonna call me back in 20 minutes. It's been 2 weeks :D. It looks like you had a nice time, the pics are just what I needed to get my ass on the water. I have a surgery coming up next week, as soon as that heels I will good to go. Give me a call some time, I've been looking at the same four walls for a year now and this S**T just drives a man crazy. God bless brother talk with you soon.

Canyon was my second choice. Beautiful boat in either case. :beer

Arizona sucks. I don't know how anyone could live there. 90 degrees in March... :beer:D

Dave,

Forgot to tell you - the wheels on Stacy's trailer look great! I wouldn't have recognized them had I not known where they came from:thumbsup!

Haulina29 hasn't even left the river yet and found out there are photos of "NO PEDALS" posted! Now the boss is going to know why they aren't at work this week!

By the way, he confirmed that the flat in front of of Foxes made an "extremely impressive pass", this coming from someone who has been around boat racing for 40 years!

I was going to mention that the pics of the wakeboat was him.. I had never met him before, but he saw me taking some pics of Stacy going by and stopped to say hello and introduce himself.

That's one hell of an impressive looking stereo he's got there.. :eek: :eek: :D

Is "No Pedals" the name of the boat?

So does he ever actually turn that thing up? :D I could only imagine how loud that deal is.. LOL

I'd be curious to know what his battery setup is like in his boat.. Generator & Charger? Or just a bank of batteries and a high amp alternator.

That wake board boat is over the top. He was renting the house across the street from mine, I walked over in the morning and took a look. The boat sat on a really nice triple axle trailer as well. Someone with a cutom background bought a wake board boat. I would love to hear that stereo.

Glad to see a few of you guys recognize the quality of that particular boat, even though I was giving him a bad time about the mini cooper wheels hanging on his roll cage!

An important footnote, it has a Dick Vale paint job, perhaps one of the last few before health caused Dick to close his shop.

Also, probably the first boat he has owned that didn't have a pair of pedals on the floor to control the thing.

That is what I was thinking they look just like my Copper rims.:D

Apparently he will flip the switch on request.

He told me on the phone tonight that it has 8 Arc amps, an Arc equalizer, 9000 watts, runs off 4 batteries that are coupled to a 250 am Balmer alternator with some trick charging system that only charges the batteries that need it. I guess he will get on here sometime after he gets back and add whatever I forgot about the thing.
