The orangecicle hopefully a good bit
The silver one with a 15 inch champ motor now, like it needs it but hey whatever :thumbup:
The green one I might need a couple beers to convince me to drive it again.

We'll see how Screaming Eagles new 22 comes along. I promised myself something new this year.

Sometimes it's okay to let someone else drive. It's hard for them to hit shit way out in the ocean.

Working his magic...

Kevin campaigned a mod eliminator class whacker for years...

I've seen him smoke some big HP V-Drives and jets in his Mirage at 11,000 RPM.

Kev is also a great mechanic...He keeps my Cougar in the water!

THANK YOU RIVER DAVE 
Finally took the family and friends out first time in the Nordic with the 400s to dinner at the springs. ( 5 people in the boat) Right in front of the marina we took a break went to get back on plane and one engine decided to go nowhere.
I guess I found the weak link.

WARRANTY !!!!

So I went down the list of people to call in Havasu that could grab my truck at Windsor and come down to the dam and pull me out. Who answered ????

Dave !!!!!

So we ate dinner by the time we were done Dave was there. Thanks again !!!!!!!

Bully, glad it worked out and very nice of RD to help out. Thankfully it didn't fail at speed.
Yesterday afternoon we ran Oceangoers new to him 30' Motion 100+ miles around the Delta doing some prop testing. Best mph we saw was 100.64 at 5950rpm so he needs to keep testing.
Headed to work for +/- 5 hrs then launch our cabin cruiser for a run up the Petaluma River for lunch at Taps.

That's exactly the same spot where the old V8 Johnnyrudes prop shafts weak spot was, would fatigue and finally break when you were running 30mph.

It's a run what you brung kinda' deal...

Mumamba shows us the aerodynamic reverse bar grip while eating a meerkat at high speed. He is a baller in the bike world...an earlier crash killed his dog, white devil, which is now hanging off the side of the bike. mumamba's triple clamps were damaged in the crash (see image) as well, but he never slows down.

Had a buddy and his wife fly into SF from PA this morning. They are doing the tourist crap in the city today and I'm going to pick them and my wife up beside McCovey Cove this afternoon in the Skater. Sunny and mid 60's in SF today. We are gonna take them past Alcatraz, under the Gate, then home to Benicia. Post pics later

Sounds like a fun run. By the way hook up with Scott and get your propeller nuts that I gave him for you.

No lol...that's the best boat I own. Costs 10 bucks a day to run it, you don't have to wipe your feet or worry about scratching the paint, starts on the first pull every time and I have 800 bucks into it. :thumbup:

I'll wait until the telephone poles quit floating around, I took one of those between the sponsons before and it doesn't end real well.

Headed North tomorrow to get the fun toys dusted off.

It runs circles around my big ugly turd.
