I am assuming that superjet on the bronco is for show/advertisment but how do they load that? Aren't those like 400 pounds? Stuff like that always makes me wonder how they load/unload things.

Back her in and ride it on

There’s some good running tests on them. That couple that runs all
Over the east coast in an MTI bought one and did a long run test. They explained how they run flatter and the bow pierces the swell instead of going over it and it takes awhile to get used to running that way.

Found it. Good watch

Speed on the water asked me what I thought of the boat. I told them it was like playing a video game. Felt fake setting in the cockpit driving it.

Ive seen them a lot up in Puget sound and San Juan islands....I really really like them for a lake or those kind of waters. A pair of 250's or 300's would be all you'd ever need. (id never own an ocean boat with a single..)

Little Aggressive!!! So……it wasn’t bad enough that Dave lost the cell phone last night, we decided to add some salt to the wound and confirm it was lost forever.

Woke up early, would have much preferred to sleep a bit longer, met the scuba guy to get yelled at. 🙈 he was pissed that we wasted his time. He said we talked about this on the phone, you said were tied to the dock! This is the ozarks people I can’t find your phone out there!!!

More later, back to skater party and free cake lmao 🤣

That photo of Dave's boat at the dock from the skater party looks like Pedro might be doing some gel work when he gets back. I'm guessing there has to be some kind of edging on it keep from scuffing the gel

My one and only trip from Seattle to the Bering Sea on a single engine fishing boat included six hours of drifting in the Gulf of Alaska in a huge swell, I could not get off that boat fast enough. :eek:

I feel like its solid, Dock girl already told Dave he needs to teach his deck hands better 🤣 she said it was good; I tried to put more bumpers in and she said its ok, I tied it up. 🙌🏼🤣🍻

I don’t know what it is but PSI motors are on a different level. I’m doing a PSI motor for my next build. It’ll pound the mains out of the bottom end but I’ll have smiles for miles doing it 😂
The problem with PSI’s is that they puddle when idling and will flood cylinders unless cleaned out (revved up) often. They’re best on motors that live mostly at wide open throttle. They’re intimidating AF though.

Fuckin Boats!!!! We left the camden around 9pm, cruise went great, I even nailed the docking.

In the last few feet of backing into dock, smoke becomes to come out of the engine bay from all sides 🙈 no way!!! Dafuq is going on. So, we literally came in hot 🔥
It appears port engine, starboard headed is not getting enough water.

So we chatted with Alexi of Boostpower a bit, then we procedure to rome around the facility looking for the facility owner, while running into Bob Teague and Ray Lee from Speed boat, good times.

Boat is sleeping on dock at Performance Boat Center, with an unknown destiny at this point. We are crammed into 2 vehicles with people in trunks, lol ok a 4 runner and a minivan, so not exactly a trunk. 🤣🍻

Side note: I am tired as shit, Daves van just stopped for 40 chicken nuggets or so, lol.

Dave said he shared is financial knowledge with everyone at the party by saving significantly with his Coors light 12 park from the dealers gift shop, lmao. I opted for a couple dog toy tunnel boats for my kids to play with and koozies of course.

Almost back to Camden, if I don’t go to sleep shortly I will post some more pics

Adventures of Ding and Dong to be cont….

.. I can’t help but keep on laughing about the scuba guy walking down the dock pissed off after the phone was a no lo findo😳
Nothing like starting the day with a pissed of guy that wanted to make $300 and reassuring us the phone is gone.

We may need to elaborate on this event later lol.

Walrus or Scuba Sam guy said he could take 45 minutes to find a 40’ boat with multiple GPS coordinates in a small area 🙈

I don't mind driving, I actually enjoy it. I'm sure if we can get a few boats in a caravan, we can have some fly in a group and make the short drive.
ugh, my worst drives are in a caravan, The minute someone needs a stop I cut and run. Best trips are we all leave the same place same time, and keep loose tabs on each other, If someone gets in trouble we rally, otherwise we all meet at the and you run at your own pace.

Either phones or normally radios to keep in touch.

How fast is the trifecta with 3 500s
Hopefully not secret info, but was throwing people back in seats and almost lost a camera man going from 50- mid 80’s with 8 or so people on it. Heard something about low 90’s 😮

…Lol… I am racking my brain… I dropped my phone in the water somewhere… It must’ve been up at my place at Lake Oroville… But luckily for me I could see it… So I was able to dive down and grab it… It may have actually been Lake Lahotan … Where the water was actually pretty clear…Wait,a minute… that wasn’t it either... It was in the afterbay of Lake Oroville… Took it to an auto repair close by …the guy took it apart and blew it out with an airhose… It worked just fine thereafter🤷🏽‍♀️

… I hope all the shit on Mr. River’s phone was backed up somewhere???…

Spectacular day blasting around with a bunch of Skaters. A handfull of outboard cats were lurking outside of Margaritaville when we were leaving & learned VERY quickly just how much faster inboard Skaters are. We ran all day 90-125 mph thru just about everything, truly amazing machines.

From our dock, guess it's called Sunrise Beach for a reason....... View attachment 1420432

Nothing like a beautiful cool Missouri morning watching the sun come up.

RDP PSA:
Remember visitors Missouri has sweltering humidity and terrible winters as well as unknown outbursts from the sky at anytime so while we appreciate your visit make sure you have traveling arrangements in place to return to your Mecca of perfection and perpetual bliss……

On a serious note.

I was working at the Quarry in Laurie yesterday. They are not running the plant (since I was fixing it) and I could clearly hear the horsepower on the water. There was one that was distinctively louder and deeper toned. Just the sounds are badass.

Hopefully everyone in attendance has a great and safe time.
Got passed by an ambulance in Camdenton and it reminded me of how quickly things can go wrong.
Wishing all you travelers safety and fun!
