Dave,
I met that fellow at the Lake Travis Poker Run about three years ago now while out visiting Jay & Barb.
The guy had that boat custom built at a cost of over $3K and it would run about 80 MPH. They actually chased it with the Baja down the lake and it was faster than his Baja.
Pretty cool project.

Well I cannot locate my Lake Cumberland pictures right now of Spotlight so moving own.
My next experience with a Baja Poker Run boat was with "Poker Face". I first saw the boat at Lake Travis when Blane Aarup was running it for the Ski Dock Poker Run.
I did not get a chance to ride in the boat then but did get to drive it in Jacksonville three months later.
That was one very sweet boat that was fast for a Baja with stock 525's.

A few of Poker Face from the "Big One" in Destin Florida.
Blane had not attended that run before and he followed us around. I slowed down a few time to let him catch up but he hung pretty good for the most part.

Well after Poker Face there was a low point on the Baja Poker Run tour when they did a 23 Outlaw with a matching Hummer painted by Kustom Kolors.
I'm still looking for those pictures of that rig I shot in Jacksonville, FL.
Pictures to follow.
