nice shots there @Wheeler, almost as good as your drywall work and equally appreciated. Also, Thanks again for the help on the lid of my patio cover. Feels so much better there now. I always enjoy working with you and greatly appreciate your help, work ethic, character and integrity.

We'll see how that works out for you when you get to be as old as Craig.

Last week we ran our Spectra against that blown Spectra. He beat us and he was just cruising along, in fact he didn't know he was in the middle of a race.

Last week we ran our Spectra against that blown Spectra. He still beat us as he was just cruising along, in fact he didn't know he was in the middle of a race.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Blown flatbottom with dry headers. Something I’ve always tried to keep in mind whenever I do an “early” start-up[emoji51]. It never seems to be before 7:30ish but that might change.

I'm still waiting for your return and remember, it's never too late.

Ha! Funny you say that. I had every intention to be out there this coming weekend with the flatbottom. Well, as of last night my dog is in the hospital, the vet ain’t cheap, and I’m a sucker for my dogs. Real life hit me on the chin again with a set of brass knuckles with $$$$ engraved on them.

This past week we were at River Land Resort and it was never to early to start up and run!! If you are the river and it bothers you go somewhere else.... the whole group agreed.

Never have seen that, but she's out having a nice pass. Maybe she has skin or other issues.

If that’s the same lady, shes been running the river for years, hats off to her for getting out there.

I'm sure she not the typical waverunner operator, but still there is alot to get tangled up in if she does dump it by accident...

Sorry but I didnt. I've been working and it's hard to get down off the scaffold to take pix of the fast boats before the pass by.

I do have a bunch of Jet Bote pix though!

Tell the story on the boats and their owners.

Always nice seeing these Guys running up and down the river

Dads boat is a 71' Hallett he bought in boxes about 20 years ago. Original gel without a crack in it and we have beat the hell out of it the entire time we've had it. It has a 396 that is like a damn lawn mower. Thing is a tank and a ton of fun. I had a great time growing up with it.


Grandpa's is a 70' Sanger 17'10" with a fresh 454. The rest of the family got him back into the boating world after around a 30 year hiatus and he bought the sanger around 15 years ago. It was in "ok" shape when he bought it and now it's a show stopper. Another boat I've been blessed to be raised on. Very proud of the boat and my 85 year old grandpa continuing to wheel it.

My uncle also has a little 69' Magnum with a 454 which runs hard. Fresh engine with aluminum heads this season, large tunnel ram and twin carbs next.

and I FINALLY bought my first flattie last year about 5 years too late lol. Wanted one just like Dads, found a 71' hallett that hadn't ran in 10 years. This thing is a very light layup in comparison though. It was set up as a marathon runner, currently has two 20 gallon tanks that are getting cut out and some floor repair done later this month. The trailer will be next on the list once I catch up on all the BS that comes with bringing this thing back to life. I'm almost there..

You shocked the hell outta me when you dropped my name last year floating in front of buckskin. Glad to see you and the little Barron still going strong.

Really nice boats! Thanx for sharing!

A friend has a Magnum. I'll try to find some pix and post 'em up.

If it isn't a T-Deck, it would be the only one other than that blue one I've seen!

Here are a couple pix from the past. I'll try to find some recent photos.
