Huge thanks to HydroSkreamin for teaching me the proper way to run our 21 Shadow. We hit 73 last night with 25+ gallons and 25 pitch 3 blade on the limiter. He wants to try a few other props.
My lil mangina is still afraid to run it that hard but getting seat time each week. He also bought dinner while we were out.
Performance Boat Center is VERY lucky to have this incredibly talented man join their team.

Yesterday was FANTASTIC with great friends!
Blow me & KingofBeers joined me in the Shadow. Sadly we were a lil late getting to Performance Boat Center due to prior commitments so we missed most of group leaving PBC. We skipped the 1st stop & met the group at the 2nd stop. Sorry I didn't get many pics. Sacrificed a prop along the way on some debris but got her home & no damage to skeg. 80+ miles total

A barge with 7 Egyptian pyramids.
You never know what will roll by in the delta!

Please keep us all posted on your shakedown runs! Gorgeous boat...I have actually considered that 36’ for my stable.
Rode in Lucky Strikes in Key West. We went through some slop and I was impressed with its ride. Congratulations!

We launched at B&W ....ran to almost Coney Island and Bill had a fuel pump start to go bad. He got most of the way back....
then we had a nice lunch at Moore’s. Bill and Marie generously treated Steve and I. Steve and I then did another blast down potato slough and disappointment slough to connection slough and back to B&W. Great conditions, few people out for a hot Saturday!!

We all had one guy like this in the group. In my group it was Hector Ortega. Great guy, but always made critical hesitation mistakes. His jumps didn’t go well at all.
He rode a Huffy...We all rode Schwin Sting Rays. The Huffy bike

had a cheesy gooseneck that allowed the handlebars to go forward under pressure. Hector ripped his nutsack landing on the gooseneck after it failed him. Ugly and memorable.

Killler day on the water. I really like the DW32s. Jimmy's new 32 w/450s is vicious. Weather and conditions were perfect.

Hows the house in Michigan coming along? Hope you can make time for a night or 3 @ LOTO this summer

It is coming along. Spent Spring Break out there with my family prepping for summer. How far is Lee Fine MEM KAIZ from you?

Pretty close to Performance Boat Center which is only 18 miles from my dock. By truck, that airport is 29 miles, 44 min from my house. Got a buddy that works for PBC & he's moving into his new home up by me. So we can easily figure out how to coordinate. Got plenty of extra vehicles so no need to rent anything. Our buddy F14 has a vacant house available to stay in if our construction zone home isn't your gig. 😉

What props on the 450 powered 32? I bet that thing is a rocket! I love the looks of those DWs, white and black is my favorite!
