Looks like a sucessful Dam Run.

no failures? Always something that happens but always just mechanical stuff.

really glad to see this continue on after all these years. Well done

Took one over the bow and lost my sunglasses. Other than that it was a great time

I’ll never forget the year you broke that 28 Howard in the basin with all those women on your boat.. Lol… “I’ll just wait here for the tow, you guys go ahead” 🤣🤣🤣

It was my first trip but loved it and would definitely make it back. The little one even brought her damn doll that doesn’t leave her side 😂 but I mean it was her 2nd birthday weekend 🎉 🥳 so whatever she wants right 🤷🏻‍♂️ . Her actual bday is today the 16th, how time flies. Nice meeting some of the group. Thanks for the action shots @02HoWaRd26 wife loved this one. Still waiting to see what she got of the group on hers.

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.

I'll post up some details on the 43 Eliminator for sale thread so as not to hijack this one entirely.

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.
I had the blue one and we got airborne twice and definitely felt the ride but overall it cut through the waves extremely well. Wasn't the water we hoped for but we have done that same chop in our old 22' Laser. Water was great after the basin though. No regrets 😃

I wish I launched. Duty called and was out making deliveries for Xtreme. One of these days I swear I will make. Hell it only took my 7 McRaft-ups before I made it. lol
