Predator III

[Times Like These]

I was looking at the participant list for Desert Storm and see Gary Smith is bringing a 388 named Predator III to the event. I haven’t seen any pics or details on the boat. Knowing Gary, it’s something bad ass. Anyone in the know?

I know what it has for engines but won't say anything.

Then why would you say anything.

 

[pixrthis]

It won't be blown

Why not?

It won't be blown

 

[Bpracing1127]

20 bucks says it breaks

I'll take that bet.

In fact I'll bet you $20 bucks it doesn't break and a case of bud light for Gary!

I’ll see you at the party to collect

Will it have those expensive mufflers, aka turbos?

Awesome! I'll be there!! You better not welsh sucker! To be clear the bet is Gary Smith, with Preditor 3 will not break at Desert Storm 2018. $20 bucks and a case of beer to you if he breaks, and a case of beer and $20 bucks to me if he does not break.

It sounds like the boat has a pair of Mercury 860's in it.

I heard last night it won’t be ready in time. [emoji17]

That is the bet

That is the bet

You already lost. P3 might be at DS, but I don’t think it is going to hit the lake. If Gary has not tested it yet, he most likely will not be running it.

Therefore I win. If he doesn’t run it. It’s considered broke right?

Can't break if it doesn't run

 

[BLOWN HOWARD]

it wont break its going to have 8 whackers on the back haha

 

[jeffymurray1957]

20 bucks says it breaks

thats nice, why don't you spend your money building a boat and see how it works

Don’t need to do that. I have one it’s turn key power.

I’m not bashing on having a Boat that nice but seems like every year he is the fastest and then boom breaks.

Gary has had the worst luck in the past years at DS. Shit breaks when are are trying to top 200 in a non turbine powered boat! But he keeps coming back and that is what I love about all the Predator boats he has built. That plus he routes for the Wildcats in Tucson.

 

[Andy01]

No, no. Bet was if he breaks at Desert Storm 2018, period. So lets wait and see if it breaks, if in fact it does NOT break during that weekend then Gary and myself will celebrate with your cold beer and the $20 bucks. Sucker!!
The boat is one bad m'fer! From trailer to paint it is amazing!

 

[stephenkatsea]

Throwing stones at the Predator operation is almost “Grads Like”.
Anyone who saw the open cockpit Predator II run against the closed cockpit, gas turbine, Low Altitude in 2016 wouldn’t be likely to sling that mud.

 

[skater40]

Andy - I told you he would weasel out of paying.

 

[rivrrts429]

Settle down nut swingers. It’s all in good fun based on Gary’s previous Desert Storms.

The best predictor of the future is the past. You guys act like you got your own dollars wrapped up in his operation lol

It’s like betting winners and losers in the Super Bowl. Nobody wants to see anyone get hurt, just a friendly bet.

Where are the pics!

 

[rivrrts429]

someone just lost $20 if that's the case

Which one?

 

[Bpracing1127]

Time will tell

 

[Andy01]

Where are the pics!

Pics? We signed agreements. I had to leave my phone in the truck.

This is the most refined, best one Gary has built.
I bet it hauls ass if I drive it!

Boat was not there this weekend. Gary said in another thread that it was being re-rigged at Brummett.

You have the wrong person and wrong boat. Gary wasn't there, he was shoe shopping

 

[TLAW719]

That was Vern’s boat, Predator. Not Predator 3
