It's a boating paradise if you can escape the Kommiefornia politics. Discovery Bay is an ideal spot to live. You can always find smooth water if you know where to look. Only +/- 90 miles to Golden Gate bridge or Sacramento. The backwaters going to Suisun are fun too unless you run aground in the mud at low tide & you are stuck with @F14 & @seanroberts for a few hours waiting for tide to come back in.
Truly loved learning the Delta & met several life-long friends in my 8+ years there.
Beyond thrilled to be here @ LOTO full-time

Its a bummer that they closed Salmon fishing for entire last two years..I do love fishing for them in ocean only,but river being closed also is a bonus for us as it is completely void of ANY boats this time of year!!LETS GO...

Water from Sacramento to Rio Vista is an absolute treasure when there's no boats. Where do you fuel on the water?

Today was a great day… Sold a boat and bought one. My brother now owns the Green Monster, and I will be proudly running a very nice STV with a 3.2 Stroker. Building a 15” sporty for this beauty.
I can’t wait to get her home and smoke a few hundred miles in the Delta.

[War Canoe]

Headed to Havasu at 4 AM ….big thanks to Mike for the sweet ride.
Mike put new tires and bearings on the STV trailer….Good man !!

 

[War Canoe]

Fully aired out at 120 mph …the boat is literally flying. Riding the bubble with a 34 Merc Cleaver.

 

[HST4ME]

Boom!!! View attachment 1459682

Sorry for the sticky stuff all over yur new float fukrrr......

 

[HydroSkreamin]

DCB is now in possession of the very first hull of its own ever built. Very cool that Tony and Paul rigged this boat and are now VP of Sales and VP of Operations.

We will be able to show customers the very first and the very latest DCB’s ever built.

What a cool piece of history with the original Boyd’s wheels on the trailer.

Tony says about the only things changed on it are the Livorsi carbon gauges, someone moved the stereo from its somewhat hidden spot under the dash to cutting it into the dash, and the vinyl has been replaced on the rear hatch, losing the original checkered flag pattern by recovering the panels with straight white. The rest of the interior is original.

Time capsule for sure!

New M42R stretching her legs in Havasu.

Not bad for a 42’er with clamp-ons…

 

[War Canoe]

I had Dave’s first Eliminator built DCB….
I sold it back to Dave and Tony. Fast and fun.
Only factory , double step bottom 19’ I’ve ever seen.

these little "pisspots" will be affected ALOT more then skaters and such by adding big wind deflecter,not to mention there fuglyness

 

[War Canoe]

I was actually considering a rice burner rear wing set up.

Ken Warby did 314 mph with a wing. I’d be happy with 200.
