Brummett - It would be cool to get all the boats on the river together..

It would also be fun to do a kids oriented get together, I have a 16 month old and 4 year old.

Yeah, but you're gonna have to get some ink and a flatbill :D


Oh yeah.... and pay somebody to detail your boat, cause you're too important to do that kind of shit yourself :D

2007 Ultra 26 Shadow Deck.

Miss the Ultra regatta but enjoy any get togethers. However now that I have a 6 month old daughter, tend to focus on more family type events.

I've looked through this thread 3 times and can't seem to find what kind of boat Catmando has.....I'll go look again I'm sure I must have missed it.....he MUST certinly have a boat, sand toy or something that he might have in common with this group based on all the time he spends here :rolleyes

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm guessing that he may be around here les in say...........33 days :)

Playcraft 28 with twin outboards.


I have had many boats over the years and this is nice and has a lot of room. The one thing I have found out there is not perfect boat. My next boat will be smaller or larger???

I have a Nautique roll bar but want to go out with the flatties just to piss them off. ;). I hate other roll bat boats, all mess'in up my river.

Daily regatta on Tahoe. For every 10 boats you see 8 of them will be Cobalts.

2 of the best regattas I have ever attended were with the Las Vegas Hot Bot group. One On Mohave and the other on Mead we had plenty of boating and by mid day found a great beach lots of Kids games with prizes and a not a poker run run some people camped overnight on the beach. next day different groups headed out and did their own thing or joined up with other groups. And of course a little drinking.

89 Eliminator Tahoe, big block / bravo for family cruising and skiing. I like the old school lines and colors. I modernized the interior.
Also an 18' - 84 Baker Tunnel with a 200HP outboard on a jack plate for "playing around"

The engine on the Euro is a stock 300 Pro Max on a custom 15" mid that takes a 3 liter powerhead and a 2.5 lower unit. Makes a real nice lake setup.

Type of Boat: Bayliner




I really want to pull the trigger on a Mach 22 or a 22 Daytona but the more I realize how much of a money pit boats are the more and more I have a hard time throwing the money at one. I love boating, I love the people and I love the culture but I struggle with the idea of spending several hundred dollars on a weekend on the boat knowing I can put that money elsewhere.

Top speed does not mean much in our end of the world. It is who gets there first. 1/8 mile drag racing is the main event at all of our rallys.

For that purpose. I use a 26" Yamaha drag on the Euro which rips your head off and gets 92-93 in the 1/8th. I use a 32 Cleaver for river running.

Sounds good, we would be in! Kids are 12 and 16. Parker, Havasu, Mead. Maybe a Mandela/Brummett get together. Might spur a couple of those 18'ers in progress to get finished...

I know that the amount of money we spend on boating isn't anything compared to the big dogs, but every dollar we have ever spent is well worth it when I consider all of the fantastic memories with lifelong friends that have come out of all of our "money pits". Plus, it's probably cheaper than therapy for stress relief... LOL hahaaa Just my .02



Man, there are some really cool boats in this thread.... Love seeing everyone's rides.
