Good god it was bad, wife said let’s just head back, and i was literally in my head saying yea let’s....... glad we didn’t. I’m pretty sure we all know our boats would make the trek to Catalina now tho

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

Great pictures and good turnout

 

[RichL]

Going to need to go back and look at these pics on the computer screen. Pretty sure the phone isn't doing them any justice. Thanks for posting them.

My boat is part Apache, we would have stayed in it, but my dad is getting old and he was taking a beating. Took a roller over the bow and knocked my glasses off. Decided to take it a little easier after that but the water cleared up pretty nicely. I’ll post pictures and videos after going through them. That was a blast. Dave was right though, I was breaking my boat to pieces and I look over and dwc and crew were passing me in the toon.

- Send you hot photos and videos
- send you a video of sex with an ex-boyfriend (if you don't put it out there!)

Also ready to come to you in any country for your money.

Wasn't there an inmate looking for a new dishwasher.

2004 DAM RUN - RUNNING IT HARD IN BEAUMONT DAYS

 

[RiverDave]

I didn’t get any pics but my wife got some and Joe got a ton.. I will get the wife’s phone later today!

 

[BHC Vic]

In a perfect world I would edit these videos but I don’t think I’ll ever have time so it’s engine sounds and imagination for you guys

 

[FROGMAN524]

Did some miles both Friday before the Dam run and Saturday the dam run. Not sure about the MPG but the gallons used is pretty accurate.

We towed the trailer back to kingman between days because we don’t trust the wildlife if you know what I mean. Better safe than sorry.

Not sure if these guys were with the run but I do love GSDs

I’ll edit a video and put it up later on when I have time.

Looks like a great time! God I can’t believe how close Kingman is to Katherines.

When Lucky’s 35’ was getting bounced around in the basin i knew it was bad. My vote would have been to turn around but i didn’t know that it calmed down father up the lake.
PS. Ive only been to Catalina twice on a 24’ cruiser. Was way calmer than the first part yesterday.

Yeah, you didn’t seem to bounce so much.

 

[CoolCruzin]

Water looks good !

 

[DWC]

 

[02HoWaRd26]

No idea where it came from but probably my favorite part of the trip, my boy (no idea where he learned this unless he saw Vic) just decided to start going for backflips.

Like slicing butter.....

 

[02HoWaRd26]

So who was the blue pontoon and who was the red one? I tried not to hammer my boat and still was so brutal at the basin. But both those two as well RD were at Cottonwood before me. I legit believed that RD launched at Cottonwood. He laughed and said “no we just got more ice and beer” which means he smoked us across there.

So I’d love to hear how it felt on those toons ripping across the swells of MoChappy.

We were in @Jumppack JB ’s Blue Trifecta. It’s a crazy smooth ride. Doesn’t really get on top of the water with full tanks, full of people and 4 coolers but it crushes the water. Here’s a couple of vids from the start of the ride.

Here is Lucky and Debbie in the 35’ at the same time for comparison. To be fair they’re riding at not an ideal speed for that boat. Another 20-30mph and it would have been a different video.

I was super impressed with Richard’s ride. They were crushing it.

 

[JFMFG]

Looks like fun I hope to make this next year.

 

[02HoWaRd26]

Some may be duplicates from earlier, wife did something to her camera and nearly 300 pics were junk because if it but these were most the ones that came out.

 

[02HoWaRd26]

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Dang! When I did it in the 30' it was like glass. I was actually hoping for some rough stuff but it never happened. You all got it in the basin that's for sure!

 

[Wizard29]

Great meeting several of you this weekend...

@Jumppack JB

There were a few others, but I don't recall their screen names. Glad you were able to hang out at the beach for a while and definitely stop by again if you're ever back up.

Other than Bails which had a mechanical problem.. I’m pretty sure I was the last one to leave Katherines. We got on the water and we’re idling away from the dock when everyone took off

 

[throttle]

Looks like a good turnout! Nice variety of boats too.

I had a great time on the dam run again and this was the first time for my wife and girls and they loved it. The sloppy basin in the morning was fun that’s where my boat shines, we had 10 people onboard and about 180 gallons of fuel and had a very comfortable ride. Definitely will be back for next year. Thanks Peter I love this picture.

Nice hanging with you and the Cottonwood crew. Beautiful boat.

Thanks. We like it so far. Still getting used to it, but ran it up to 100 at one point this weekend with plenty left to go. Come back and visit any time!

Yea the wife got you in a couple of the pics prior to the water getting big through the basin. I was 100% serious i thought you guys launched at Cottonwood. The fact you guys and the other two toons smoked the majority of us through the chop speaks volumes of the modern pontoon’s.

 

[She's Mine]

Some really nice hardware. I saw Don Johnson and crew leaving Havasu Saturday morning on the way there.

More likely speaks volumes of the right hand pushing the big stick forward.

Looks like a great turn out!! we haven't made it the last 3 years , hopefully next year!!

Thanks man, it was great to meet you and you have a very nice ride yourself.

It looks like it was another great run I've been wanting to do this run for years, hopefully all the stars will align next year. I'll have to carry extra gas because I'm not sure I can make it there and back but we'll find out.

There is fuel at Katherine’s, Cottonwood, and Willow.

Don yes Johnson no!

I was looking for any pics of your new beast from the weekend... wasn't sure you made it out. So do you care to share any experience points from first weekend out on her? Mostly related to what coming from 34-43' was like. Sounds like the River gang doesn't have to deal with excessive docking and line issues so thats nice.... just stuff em on sand looks like till days end to delaunch.

Ya I know I've never been a big fan of getting fuel on the water, I was thinking of launch at Cottonwood or I'll make something work out or buy a family truckster but I'm not getting rid of the v-drive crusier.
