The Outboard Church

[War Canoe]

Thursday’s Girl ...

 

[War Canoe]

Church headquarters is spectacular in the early morning....
We are ripping the DW this morning...patio boat in the afternoon, and street fair tonight!!

 

[AZMIDLYF]

I like the white C10.

 

[War Canoe]

Headed to the Street Fair in a few minutes...I’ll get some pics!

 

[War Canoe]

Street meat...

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Was that first hull with the 300R and Argo?

 

[pwerwagn]

My last name is Argo. I should get one of dem free!!!

 

[War Canoe]

Was that first hull with the 300R and Argo?

The hull was designed in Finland...”C3” class

Look at the decks....different yellow fades, too....
Dash is totally different set up as well.
One ran 126 mph, the newer one ran 130 mph....we ran both Nordics and the DW’s together....the all White DW with black 400’s is Sam’s and Bully has the red striped and white 400’s.

 

[War Canoe]

needless to say, we are having a damn good time...

Remember that June 22nd is the first Church Regatta in Havasu...Starts at London Bridge!!!
Lunch at Pirate Cove, live band, we own the docks and a fat section of beach.
No charge, no fees, no bullshit.
Just boating with our loyal congregation!
Be there and be seen! We will have some badass photographers taking shots of all the badass rides that show. Load the boats with plenty of hot girls and we will see you there!

The hull was designed in Finland...”C3”

It's a 24 ft Twister hull...just noticed the wide cockpit. Argo has a narrow, single front back seat set up. There is one in Florida running 125 with a 300XS. These hulls run in the offshore C class in Finland.

 

[War Canoe]

The “Argo” ....

 

[AZMIDLYF]

That pic is of the same guy that owns the 24 Twister now. That was his 23 Argo before jumping into the widebody Twister so his girlfriend could ride next to him. Lol

Here is a video of him ripping it up in the Argo:

 

[War Canoe]

Stormin’ !!!

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Did that DW make a long journey from up north? Thought that one was up in Canada?

 

[War Canoe]

The Church is in session....

Well he got down to Havasu !! Great looking boat. 36’ is a lot of boat !

 

[War Canoe]

great time today ...great friends, good food, fun event.

 

[War Canoe]

Hitting the water at 6am tomorrow...
We are running the DW up to the top of the river again. Sam May show in his DW , so it’s going to be a festival of speed. If I wasn’t so freaking tired, the thought of two Doug Wright’s brawling for position would keep me awake.
It should be illegal to have this much fun. We lead a blessed life. I learned this in “Church”

 

[War Canoe]

The best shots we got....

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Great pics
We are meeting @ Porthole then running 3 Skaters thru Montezuma Slough to Suisun City to El Cabana for some of the best Mexican food ever. Have another fantastic day Bully & Rev

 

[War Canoe]

Sunrise mass....it was epic!!
120 miles and back on the trailer by 7:45am
...
We saw the green monster launching as we came in...he was late for church, so we left him. Next time he will know to be on time.

Looks like its going to be a fantastic day on the Delta today. Wish I could make it! Ive got about a week left to wrap up this nightmare of a job and then Im going to kick my boating activities up a notch.

 

[Blow It Up]

Desert Storm was a blast. Good times and great people !

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Thankfully I checked the tide charts a 2nd time & realized I was wrong initially so we didn't go to Suisun. We had an epic rip with 3 outboard Skaters to Smith's Landing thru some serious wind chop. Thankfully the two 28's waited for me. AWESOME food, great friends, very good band @ Rusty Porthole. Alex, your 21 would not have liked the water we were in.

Rick's 18' haulin ass river rocket saw 107mph with the 250XS on it, runs over a hundy with 3 big guys in it. Robs Sanger is a sweet ride. The 32 Spectre has big naturally aspirated power but didn't want to come out and play with our whackers.........

 

[lake p.a.l.]

BIG thank you to Tanya & Bob once again. Their incredible hospitality seems endless, thankfully. They have a SERIOUS lineup of water toys, twin turbo Vector, 28 Skater, M31 DCB & a toon. Our Skater got spoiled spending the night.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Side shot of Talon is a great one. That definitely looked like Skater water out there.

We were just talking about a short blast to Smiths Landing on Friday night. Havent been there since it was Humphreys. That water definitely looked a little sloppy for my little 21. Im assuming that was out in the SJR west of False River. We were having drinks at the Riverview on Friday after I got off work and the wind was blowing pretty good right up until dusk.

Hmm:
I have yet to boat with any of the OBC people. This sounds like fun I might just have to make it up on that date. It would be a good quick run to check it out.
Putting it on the calendar...mainly because of Scott who reminded me to come out at least once.

[lake p.a.l.]

Rev, get yur ass down here this weekend. Gonna lay down some miles with Milky.......

 

[lake p.a.l.]

I forsee a lot of used 400R's on the market after the June announcement of a new Merc big HP outboard .

 

[War Canoe]

My buddy, Mike Jones, rolled with me from LA back to “O” Town....so, I’ve been spoiling him with some grotto runs. 78 degrees and perfect water.

Will the Twister be up for this?

 

[War Canoe]

I really want to do a shootout with my DBR Cougar and the Twister....
I think it would be awesome !!!
Maybe Kap and I could get together and do some testing and comparisons.

I’ve done 122.44 mph...and I know there is more there...Kap says his ride has 126 mph in it...As you can imagine, this would be an epic shootout. Wondering who would get the hole shot...
Who would own the mid range....
Who will top out the fastest...??

Who has the fastest single engine boat in the 21’-24’ class???
I am confident we can have a shootout that would be very interesting.

I Would love to drive Kap’s badass ride and feel the big V-8 unleash its wrath !!!

Either way , it will be entertaining!!

BTW: Kap is a Church member...we would be racing our own team.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Careful Rev, those Twisters have a beautiful wide tunnel and a lot of new school technology. I would LOVE to see that Twister up close.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Pretty sure the Cougar would have the edge from start through mid-range speeds, although that V8 is a torque monster. I think the Twister(bigger hull) would keep it honest on top. Sort of like an F1 car and a Grand Touring sports car. Lol

 

[Bullhead bully]

You single boys need to keep it safe ! I know you’re both very experienced but singles and 120+ is on the edge all the time.

Kap hopefully you can make it on the 22nd !

This fun run will be all about safety

Adam McKeon ran 126 with my/his old argo 23 300XS with DBR mods. He had aspirations to try to get 130 before he sold it to me.

Do you run negative trim at speed? I've always loved these boats, bet they ride great. How do you get them to the United States?

Your/his Argo just sold didn't it? He now runs a Twister 24 and is running those numbers with it right?
