Hands down my favorite is Poker Face. We were lucky enough to be over at The Casion/Kelley's the year Lucky 7's was there, didn't make it up to see Split Decision last year.
This pic by far is one of the sweetest ever!

That is the sh^% yourself if you are not a true boater pic....
If I am not mistaken, wasnt that the run where all but a couple in the boat were exec's from sponsoring companies... They got out and refused to go on to the next card stop.... Who could blame them?
Personally, looked like fun!
I have been lucky (no pun intended) to ride in the last 5 Poker Run/Promo boats.... All were distinct and a GREAT showcase for Baja. For me, without a doubt, Split Decision (not talking about just paint) was the most detailed inside and out. The "little goodies" they added, ie: swim platform, battery boxes, jacket holders, lights, etc... It is too bad, that boat was not able to go "on the circuit", It riveled many of the totally custom boats for 2-3 times the cost!
Long live Baja by Baja, if only in our hearts....

I agree, as long as the boat could take it lets do it to it! I know we were out of the water in LOTO over last Labor Day, maybe not by that much but even the wife thought is was fun. And you all know what I mean there don't ya.

Some pics of the painted bilge and wiring going back in. Cleaning up the rats nest as we go.
Should get the boxes on tomorrow. Waiting on some parts for the motors but they should be in on Wednesday so hopefully we can get them in on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday. I have run into several issues on this little project but so far nothing we cant handle.

Will,
That's a fun project and nice work you are doing.
One suggestion if you have not already done it is to add a seconf bilge pump while the motors are out. My 36 came with just one and if it craps out they are nearly impossible to get to with the motors in. I added a second one on the port side for safety and a backup.
Keep us posted
