I love the new Mirage Jaguar….The big 3.2 really puts out the torque and acceleration is refreshingly fast. I can’t wait to dial this thing in perfectly. I’m pretty much going for the one seat boat. Weight causes issues that affect the handling. I need to roll alone for best results. Ok by me.

Man this is so dope!

It’s like super bikes…big two stroke power…
5 boats brawling for position…
Delta provides the F-1 style course.
Couldn’t be more fun!!

Buzzing around this morning still learning the boat! Telemetry (speed) is a few seconds delayed.

How do those rapid crafts run

 

[War Canoe]

How do those rapid crafts run

They run decent…not an STV or a Mirage, but they do fine. The key to these boats is fine tuning the set up. Most boats are not dialed in perfectly.

How do those rapid crafts run

You need to get out to the Delta sometime & experience it with Rev, Highvoltage329, Kev, & the guys.
And we ARE gonna get you over to Powell one of these years.

 

[BlowMe]

Have never really seen that many of them and was just curious about em. Good looking boats.

I would absolutely love all of that rob. Powell is definitely on my bucket list and all of those delta pictures looks incredible and like a blast as well

I'm certain those Delta boys would be more than happy to haul you around & lay down hundreds of miles

Wife & mutt loved our Checkmate ride this morning before it got busy. Saw several people water skiing, wakeboarding, & tubing. Very nice to see young people out enjoying the water.
Happy Independence day everyone, enjoy time with family & friends

 

[War Canoe]

Kev is rolling 115 mph with Rufus in tow….Kraft doesn’t like giving up position!!!

 

[War Canoe]

Bully and I waiting just outside the 5 mph zone….carefully choosing our mark….

 

[War Canoe]

Bill doing his thing. All 135 mph of it. No matter how fast you think your going, Bill would blast by you with so much additional speed it was humbling. The Church will be at the Richmond Yacht Club this Saturday at 1pm for Bill’s celebration of life.

Bill was a great man & SERIOUS boater. I always enjoyed my time with him. Please tell everyone hello today

 

[lake p.a.l.]

No speed demon but had a BLAST on F14's C Dory this afternoon

 

[War Canoe]

Bill’s celebration was very nice. Met some very nice people and had a nice visit with Marie. I learned quite a bit about Bill today. He was a driven man, indeed.

Hope to get some filet this morning in the 17' Checkmate. Need to return a borrowed stand up paddle board 31 miles down lake. It's only 12 miles by truck but what fun is that

 

[lake p.a.l.]

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Left dock @ 6am, filet the entire 31 miles to 8mm & my buds dock. Across the Camden for gas then every wake surfer almost entire 31 miles back. Top speed of a whopping 44 mph, fun lil shitbox beater.

That 308 was a FANTASTIC boat & we miss it a ton. I'd be curious to see how it would change with new 4/500's. The CG was perfect with the XS power.
