Dude, I had such a good time. Shit got me pumped up. I'm 35 and I believe you're 30? I started getting my shit together pretty late so I'm trying my best to succeed.

As for the event. Everything about it was dope. Bought a bunch of merchandise, food was good, badass boats and it was really cool for @Tony DCB Boats to come out of his way and introduce himself. I'm a peasant at this event and for him to do that really makes me happy. Guess what boat I'm buying when I make more money? DCB
Yes 31. I’ve never met Tony but I pick up here is the kind of guy that doesn’t care if you have a bayliner or a DCB he is humble. That’s what gets you customers. Never treating someone as if they’ll never be able to afford something you manufacture cause at the end of the day you never know. A buddy’s parents are prob some of the most well off people I know and you’d never know it. Keep it up bro you’ll get there one day. My ideal rig is a 33 open bow with twin 450s that would be the perfect family boat for me.

That’s about as true as it gets. Just listening to Tony’s speech to the new owner Craig was very humble and open, after a quick and necessary interruption from one other person in the crowd explaining very politely that everyone needed to “Shut The Fuck Up” 🤣🤣 was excellent in my opinion. However then Mr. Hargreaves stood up and replied and truly showed his gratitude and excitement to have bought in, he as well seemed extremely humble and proud to keep DCB at the top of their game. As well, Jeff is the exact same way, no clue how they remember everybody’s names but Jeff as well always makes sure to walk up shake hands and say hello and thanks for being a part even if you’re the 6th owner of one of their boats.
The three of them plus their amazing team make it very welcoming for certain.

I remember seeing that 19 at the boat show way back when. They were saying 118mph. Not sure what it did.

So what is the story? It’s beautiful, as is the Mach 26 that was parked a few down.
That’s Roger’s boat. He gave us the story a couple weeks back at Smith. I’m very fortunate he listed our 22 with Ricky @ MOM.
I believe he still has 2 more 22’s

Here is video that I took from south of the sand bar. I tried to stay as close to the shore as I could.
And @RiverDave, I was the guy that said hi from the blue shockwave on the beach at Pirates
Appreciate the vid, you guys were in a great spot. Here’s a question from the ignorant (me). I’m seeing this more and more - what’s with the “looking through a picket fence” view instead of full screen?? Knowing full well I’m out of touch, I just don’t get it.

I have another question from the ignorant (me this time). When these boats are tied to each other at the docks in parallel, do the people in the outermost boats have to walk across all of the other boats to get to and from the dock?

Lol, I had a lot of things going on at the same time and didn’t think about it until after the fact. Floating down river, motor running, 10 feet from shore and keep putting it in and out of gear to keep that distance with the constant wakes pushing me towards it, but at the same time trying not to get too close to the boats hauling ass, and on top of all that, it was just me and my 4 year old so I’m trying to keep an eye on him…. Taking the video was like the 5th thing on my mind at the time
