The War Canoe brawls with “War Path” at the 2010 Parker Enduro. We went on to win Class 5 that day. We finished with half a propeller blade missing, trim gauge was on the floor , windshield was shattered by a mud hen at 105 mph on the second lap.
One hell of a day.

 

[War Canoe]

Happy Fathers Day….stay cool.

Thanks! It’s nothing crazy, just a warmed over 225PM but I love it. I’ve been sorting it out since January. It runs 90.

Did you get the 450s dialed in ? Sell the 400s?

Which boat? Prop testing or pulling kids?

Judging by the full face helmet I’m going to guess the Mirage for some top speed runs.

Hopefully they get that under control soon. I know you have worked hard to clear your awesome property

 

[War Canoe]

Scary shit…. Apache fire was in my backyard….skimmed my southern edge . Hoping today is better.

Scary. Good luck!

It's a viscous cycle in Kommiefornia. Pray for rain soon.

 

[War Canoe]

Being we dodged a bullet with this fire, I figured I’d sing a bit. It’s not unusual.

I have a brand new Hill Drag 4 28P if anyone here is looking for one!

Newest edition to our shitbox fleet.
1977 all original 17' Checkmate with 115 hp JohnRude. Not fast but super fun, does surprisingly well in sloppy water tucked under at 30 mph. Will run 50ish for now until we start fuckin with it. Wife absolutely LOVES it, throw dog on it & go.

It’s Delta time….git yer shit ready. Put on the big prop, fill it to the brim with fuel, and let’s heat up some water.
Should be 5 boats….
Dales triple Skater ran 124 mph right out of the gate. I may need my 34 cleaver…

He said it pulls hard to the upper teens. If he wanted to prop up it would get 130. He says he isn't gonna do that but I'm guessing he will.......
32B old school Skater in GREAT shape

How high above the keel do you run it?
I have a 21 with a 300x and my motor definitely cannot go that high.

 

[War Canoe]

Delta was nice today…went for a big loop…boat ran so much better with no passenger. I love the Mirage.

 

[War Canoe]

Cleared for flight..:.
