Lotus cafe racer..... Badass

 

[War Canoe]

Delta perfection....you have to ride in it to believe it. Kevin smokes the back channel to Orwood resort....

 

[Wicky]

Who still skis?

 

[War Canoe]

Skiing is painful on my lower back....
In my younger days, I sure enjoyed it.
Bare footing was my favorite. Forwards was great, but backwards was the real deal.

 

[War Canoe]

It’s a big weekend!! This reminds me that I need to boat!!

 

[HST4ME]

Two beautiful days in the top secret boating location.

Friday was 80+ miles in Shadow down to Bagnell dam & back to our dock. Lunch at our house then 80+ miles in pouring rain in our cruiser the opposite direction to Buck Naked saloon for dinner.

Today is a cruiser day after morning rip session on Shadow. LOTO really sux

 

[jb600]

First time ever in a STV . This one has a 260 drag on it. What a blast.

 

[Wicky]

60mile run to catch these hungry smallies, yesterday.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Took family & friends to many bars on LOTO today. Had a great time

126 mile rip session in Shadow with my brother & 3 buds from Phoenix at day break thru back coves, home for breakfast & shower. Loaded up 7 buds on cruiser, grabbed lunch @ LarryWood on the Lake & sent them off to Springfield Airport. My liver needs a break = great times with family & friends

[War Canoe]

Oz Welch .... The best

 

[Wicky]

Had 14lbs during two, prefish days. 13lbs won the championship this year. We had close to 12lbs. Good enough for 4th place in the Championship and good enough for a check to cash on Monday. We ran 100 miles wfo with 16 gallons of fuel.

 

[War Canoe]

Here’s the Lotus in black...

 

[War Canoe]

Yeah, that will do....

[War Canoe]

It’s Delta time...

 

[War Canoe]

Lakes been good.

 

[clarence]

We put the 21' Shadow thru some sloppy water yesterday. Had a blast. Its no Skater but did great.

Miss the Skater? Or the Shadow just a different kind of fun?

We will ALWAYS miss that Skater. It was the right time to sell it, especially considering what we got for it. The Shadow is a blast & a great cruiser. I'm still very cautious with it. The chine walk is freaky to me. We hope to end up with another Skater someday, probably bigger than our 308, but a 24 with a big single outboard is super intriguing.

Thanks, that's interesting to hear.

Hopefully HydroSkreamin is back up & running his badass Eliminator soon

What do you think of the Tuff 28 Superleggera, lake p.a.l.?

Tuff 28 Single 450R is Super Fast: Superleggera Finds Perfect Match with Mercury Racing Supercharged Outboard — Wave To Wave

When it comes to custom performance boats, Tuff Marine in Canada has truly found its niche as a premium builder and designer in the small to mid size range

www.wavetowave.com

A nice compromise between the 24' single outboard and Skater? Or too compromised (expensive, not capable enough)?

 

[War Canoe]

New for 2022...
Turbo toe for all new soul snatchers. It’s a great time to be alive.

Those 28' Tuff's are gorgeous. I've never been in one so I can't compare it with a 24 Skater with single OB. F14 had a 24 Skater with 300XS and it was a beast in rough water for a 24' boat. No chance our 21 Shadow would even come close to hangin with a 24 Skater. I really miss having true cat. I'd absolutely LOVE to see any 24-28' single OB v hull run against a 24 Skater with identical power in rough water.

Spent a day & half with friends at rental house just off Table Rock lake west of Branson, Mizzura. Went for lunch cruise yesterday on Showboat Branson on Table Rock. It was a blast. I'm not a show guy but it was entertaining. Then hit Top of the Rock for golf cart tour, museum tour, etc. Top of the Rock was built & owned by Johnny Morris that owns Bass Pro Shops. Its beyond EPIC!!!!

A Chaudron might do pretty well?

Chaudron is a great looking boat & I've heard they ride nice. I have almost no knowledge of any of the V hulls, lots of learning to do.

Look at you getting cultured!

 

[War Canoe]

Now that I have your attention....
We need a Session in the Delta....shooting for Sunday.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Look at you getting cultured!

Drunk young guy on patio @ Top of the Rock bought me a $110 shot of bourbon over 1 ice cube, he couldn't remember the name of it. Damn it was good, probably better that I don't know what it was, I don't have N2otoofast4u kinda wallet.......
