It was our pleasure. Always great to get together with you and the Mrs. Also good to hang out for a bit in the Outer Harbor with @JFMFG and his family. Best part of the weekend was this afternoon when @Tank and his buddy went around us one on each side. That was the video right after Steamboat. Great weekend. Thanks @RiverDave and everyone one that put it all together!!!!

That MINI TRUCK has my name all over it.

So is this a Luxe Chase Toon? The stereo is fing LOUD!. lol BTW... where are the Bikini Contest pictures?

 

[Paradox]

So stoked my mechanical issues from yesterday turned out to be minor. On the water a lot today. Still working on my seat time but saw some significant speed heading up river.

Lots of V hulls on the water today as well.

Having a good time and will be at the auction tonight.

 

[Good Stuff]

Are we not allowed to buy anything from the online silent auction if we aren’t attending the event?

 

[Havasu Rehab]

@Hammer

 

[Mini Kat]

We can make that happen!

I'm sure I would make it my daily driver for in Havasu. Put a brass stripper pole in it and tow my Mini Kat with it for events for show. Call it Mini Baller. LOL

 

[JFMFG]

What a great weekend we just got home. Anyone at the auction? Hopefully raised some good money for charity

 

[ChrisV]

Solid event. Great job as always @RiverDave Can totally see going to this event every year from now on. Weather was perfect.

Not sure what the final number was but it’s gonna be pretty big.

I watched the tail end of the live auction. Did AJ end up selling the header chair to the lady?

 

[zhandfull]

Sounds like it was a little warm but great weather overall for boating and nighttime festivals.

I would assume so. They didn’t announce anything but they were back there talking. Thought it would go for a bit more.

It was 100 perfect weather didn’t even need the Bimini up.

Missed it this year, appreciated all the pictures and videos posted though.

Me too. Hope Dave hit his goal of what he wanted to raise. Can’t wait for the next one. Time to look forward to desert storm now

We were out running pretty hard today.

 

[Paradox]

Nice to have a quick chat with Dave and Stacy yesterday at Pirates. I did catch a quick snippet of Dave and crew leaving from there.

Awesome! You know capt Ron is smiling today

 

[RiverDave]

Are we not allowed to buy anything from the online silent auction if we aren’t attending the event?

This was our first year using that software, which is why I didn’t promote the shit out of it.. lol. I was nervous that it wouldn’t work right.

We are learning but at the next one absolutely everyone will be able to bid online

 

[throttle]

I let work get in the way and missed this year. The pictures look great!

 

[Paradox]

Had a great time at the auction last night. I really wanted that trailer and bid a few times however, it eventually beat my limit. I think the bottle of Pappy sold for $2k.

 

[baja-chris]

Went down to check it out and buy something from a vendor Saturday morning. All gone, WTF? It's only Thursday and Friday.
Toonfest included Saturday, why not SuperCat?

 

[Outdrive1]

Great weekend

 

[Tommy Gun Images]

Had a great time shooting SCFW for RD and Stacy this week. Logged tons of heli time. Now I’m going blind the next couple days editing. Here’s a couple random ones I have for now.

 

[JFMFG]

Hey Tommy
You flew over us Friday morning right outside Thompson bay. Grey orange black Nordic deck with twin outboards if you got anything of us I’d like to purchase them. @Tommy Gun Images

 

[Paradox]

Don’t know who took it but a great shot of us.. Thank you.

 

[Havasu blue label]

That’s a poster very cool

 

[Flatsix66]

What a great event!

I’ll take a look!

Because Saturday is the free day for mfg’s to do demo days, organize their own fun runs etc.. laid back.

And then raise 343,000 in charity that night. (While that’s good.. had we had a few right people show up that woulda been in the mid to high 4’s easily).

We are learning every year and trying to get better.

 

[Tank]

Don’t know who took it but a great shot of us.. Thank you.

See you soon brother.

Funny cause I was telling myself I’ve never seen a 30ft boat launch at springs. Boy I was wrong hahaha

They’ve dropped their 42 mti there as well but mainly use the riviera now.

You too Tank. Hope to catch up with you again, figuratively.

Turned out to be the forward motor drive shaft tube. It came loose and was rubbing.

That's awesome man! Sure was a great event and weekend. Loved seeing everyone. I swear, this event is just one of the best!!

Will you be back out for DS?

By the way, I see that it was Erick from Fast and Loud Photograpy that shot that great pic of your boat. I have his cell number if you want to see about getting a print.

Truly a great experience. Haven’t had that much fun in a while.

Absolutely going to be at DS. Don't think I’ve missed a year in decades. Not sure if I am going to participate yet. I wanted to see how the boat ran at SCFW. Also not sure if they are sold out, I’m not a big fan of Windsor and my buddy is going to have his 1200 HP 29 Fountain out and I’d like to take a run or two with him.

I’ll have our boat in the water at some point regardless.

I’m coming out next weekend as well for the boat show and will stay through DS. I honestly like Havasu’s show over the one in LA by an order of magnitude.

Congrats. Thats a great number. .
PS. The video compilation to kick off the auction was well done.

Thanks. Please pass it on. I would love a print.

Were you the one sitting at the outer harbor docks with the engine cover off?

We only made it out Thursday, definitely looked way bigger than last year. What was the actual registered boat count that showed up this year?

We have to add it up because the normal registrars go through the website the big sponsors don’t.

 

[goshen82]

Yea we were leaving springs to head to pirate and had the issue.

 

[Hammer]

A few shots from the weekend. Mellow vibe but a lot to do and see. I’ll definitely be back next year.
