The boating community never ceases to amaze me with how generous and caring everyone is.

My wife runs the @river_hauties Instagram account and is doing a series where she is documenting her journey to hitting 100 mph in the 25 Daytona.

We were docked a few spots down from Leanna and the Demon Bikini race boat and during the weekend we struck up a few conversations with her and the Savage Skater crew.

Renee (@river_hauties) asked Leanna if she could interview her for some tips on how to get to 100 as Leanna races boats and instead of just saying, “sure let’s do an interview” Leanna said “meet me at the docks at 9am and I’ll let you drive the race boat and give you some tips”

Unfuckin real.

There’s no downplaying how cool that was and Renee was so stoked to be able to have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a race boat and get on the gas.

The only downside (and Chad from Savage Skater warned me when the girls were out driving) is that Renee is going to want a Doug Wright. Sure as shit as soon as Renee popped her head out of the hatch, grinning ear to ear, the first words were “we need to get one of these!”

Boating is a fun pastime but I’m convinced now more than ever that it is the community around this hobby/sport that make it as special as it is.

Shout out to Leanna and Chad, can’t thank you guys enough.

Below is a video of them getting ready to leave the docks.

Was that you in the grey car? 😁👍
Just went and put the boat in storage. Packed up and heading out!!

Be back a week from Wed.


Fantastic weekend and event Dave and Stacy and crew, over the top!!
Sorry to OP for highjacking this tread. Thought it was the other thread on Super Cat Fest. Sounds like you guys had a great time. You are so right most of the time people are so willing to help each other out or just simply chat. Always a good time in Havasu and these everts. 👍

@Tank No I was in the White Yukon. LOL.

All good Tank!

You and I actually "met" at the marina when you were heading out with your crew and had Ked on board as we came bow to bow. Ked was supposed to tell you at the auction that I was looking/gunning for you (all tongue and cheek and jokingly of course) but we left a bit early so I didn't have the chance to say hello and introduce myself and my wife to ya.

If you're out at DS I'll make sure to come say hello!

Badass! Been following along. Driving a DW will ruin you.

They are unbelievable boats. The ride, feel, efficiency - hard to explain until you experience it. This weekend has I had CAT5 out for the first time since last fall. I had almost forgotten how much fun they are. Highly recommend selling a kidney to get one.

Oh yeah!! Ked and Erick were yelling at you as we were idling out right? hahaha.

We'll be at DS. Most likely in the Barrett booth with my daughter all day Thursday at the street party. 👍

Right on!

I ran the boys down to 3-dunes with my buddy running next to us in his 42 Fountain. Gave the guys a good run I think. Ked put a 360 camera on the bow so looking forward to seeing that video. The fountain and I got REAL close a couple times while running like 90. lol

I'll look for you at the street party. 👍

More footage please.
👍👍😁
its coming. releasing strategically on social media so once its live there ill update here as well.
The videos on your IG channel are awesome. Great content and editing.
Thank you! its been a steep learning curve over the past few years but I think we have found our stride.
Badass man! I’m trying to have my wife learn how to drive the 22 so I can book a photoshoot with @Tommy Gun Images . I can’t even imagine my wife trying to go 100mph.
hopefully my wife can give her some inspiration! we are gonna be giving away hats for the ladies that can hit 100 (verified) that say "100 mph Hautie." I think that would be some fun community building.

Yeah - for this 100MPH challenge are we allowed to at least be in the boat? (not sure I want to be a passenger...) but probably should. I think I can talk Gigi into piloting CAT5. She has the idle drive pose down.

Oh yeah I would imagine most of the ladies are gonna have someone on board. That’s fair game.

Plus it has to be documented so you can run the iPhone for the video 😁
