Bully, you should have run that Nordic at LOTO. You would have put all of the other 400R cats on the trailer with your numbers.

Yeah I was going to go Loto but I also know that everyone there was running modified ECUs and not running stock engines. I won’t do that. And I won’t play with those that modify and void warranty. Let’s run stock for stock and then it’s fun.

3/4 of a mile doesn’t do much for me anyway, 140 miles does.

The Church goes boating differently than most.

I'm slowly getting there. 96 miles has been my best day so far.

We landed safely back at Cable Airport....

What a trip.
Great weather, great friends, good times, indeed.

I think the highlight was the 138 mile rip with Bully that we completed in 1 hour and thirty minutes. Windsor to the “white pipe”
in Bullhead, then down to the springs, (70 miles south) then back to the Channel....The Nordic was literally flying. It takes a special boat , and I can’t think of one that could duplicate the feat.

Important fact: we ran mid week, end of the day ...no boats were out, smooth conditions. Safety first, my friends.

Hopefully it was weather related. We've had some unseasonable storms come through lately. HST4ME (Lynn) lives in eastern Michigan. I'm 250-300 miles straight west.



At least it was a Yamaha that went swimming. :p:p

It was blamed on the lifting strikes so the story goes.

Maybe the linkage from the steering wheel and the throttle? (Pilot error) : 0>

So cool!!!
I’ll bring my Cougar down to the Delta, and we will set the backwaters on fire. Kevin’s Jaguar Mirage will keep our egos in check...
Very interested in your build...you are sporting the new Outboard platform, that is awesome.
Pm me and let’s do this. If you want to drag it up to the Oroville afterbay, Wild Bill and I will assist in a test day ...we have lots of stainless. Wild Bill is damn good at reading a boat. One afternoon with Bill would produce bigger numbers, guaranteed. We are interested in the lower unit handling characteristics...it is larger than the old sport master. We found the 400R lower could literally lift the back of the boat ...So be cautious, that thing has big torque (V8) and a relatively small hull.
Test ...Test ...Test! Lots of seat time is always the key. I can’t wait to process the new info!

You were the first guy I contacted when the deal was done! Im very interested in dragging this up to Oroville to get some input from you guys. I still dont have plates for the trailer or reg for the boat. Ive only got about 3 hrs of seat time so far. Maybe running around Delta this Sunday to burn some more gas.

Saw you guys out last weekend by the Orwood bridge. Your boat looks great. We were in the gray 28 Skater.

I remember seeing you...I was in a hurry to get back to the dock as I wasnt paying close enough attention to how much fuel we burned after lunch!

Did I also mention how great the Delta is for boating? Here we explored outside the golden gate...then we averaged near 100 mph all the way home. (90 miles) F-14 and Lake pal are hard core Delta warriors!

I can’t wait to tangle with them with the DW on a pace similar to what we ran last week in the Nordic! That is some funny shit!
