@RiverDave could I sign up for the small boat class and leave the Mach 22 at the street scene all weekend but park the Mach 26 at the dock party? Do I need to purchase one or two tickets?

I've met a lot of cool people in this industry. So if the boats can spark a conversation I'm all for it.

IMO Kenny hands down (wave adios) I like the accoutrements of SXS, haulers, skis etc at DS and SCFW. Its almost like he is building a brand... I think Bob Teague is a big player too, everything from a 21 schiada to a 31 DCB built to the 9s. I can't shame Franco, Paul Tracy, Bryan H and many others. They all have a great collection and beautiful boats

Do you guys ever really think about having a “fleet”? I always think it’d be a huge pain
In the ass and a lot of stress. Don’t get me wrong, it’s cool, I love looking at al the toys of the guys mentioned above and I’m far from hating. Love that there’s dedicated people in the sport out there having fun and showing up with all the toys. But fuuuuuuuck. What a pain. One boat is a pain. Could you imaging having two big boats at an event or more? Now you need a crew to help and all the expense of the vehicles and associated toys etc. just seems like a huge headache. But again. I love that people bring that commitment level! 😁👍

I was watching landman and the dude that owns the oil Company is constantly stressed. Taylor Sheridan nailed that part once angain. Every single truly rich person I’ve known is like that. Never stops working. Really can’t enjoy their stuff because they’re thinking about work all the time. I’ve come to the realization having to work for that level of success brings too much stress and it’s basically not worth it. “Work / life balance” is off. Settling into a decent gig that makes you enough to buy a few toys and live a decent lifestyle but allows you to turn off the work brain to truly enjoy life is worth its weight in gold. I know the response from many will be “oh I could enjoy it…” yeah I get that but like I said. Truly successful self made people are balls of stress even when “relaxing”. I guess it’s the price you pay for making it to that level.

Tank I agree I think having a fleet would be more work than fun. Shit just my desert program Motorhome, trailer, can am, dirt bikes, etc is to much work sometimes

The most expensive boat in Havasu is most likely Hellfire (turbine powered Skater).
Frankoo & Wave Audios wave great overall setups, but the stereo wars between those two at SCFW was too much for me

I’m a little perplexed on the reason for the holes in the skater? Doesn’t look like an air intake for the motors. Doesn’t seem like some sort of airater for the 6 drives as it’s too high. What’s the purpose? Is there a side intake through that tunnel leading to the engine compartment that you can’t see thus making it a scoop for the engines? Weird.

Right there with you. One of the reasons that I took a few images of it. Thought it was a lot of work to create so there might be a reason. 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ Maybe someone will have an answer. 👍

Sadly these are all that I have. There was a staired platform but there was a bunch of people waiting to see. Maybe someone else has better images. 👍

Depending on angle of holes could give lift or push down transom.

If we are being 100% honest, it's because it looks cool.. LOL. There is no actual purpose for the holes. I know this because I asked when it was there. :D
