35" Fountain Executioner on the Chicago River
I made this video last weekend at the Chicago Air and Water Show . I just thought you guys might get a kick out of it. It was filmed from a 1990 Fountain Fever 27 with twin 454's Video gets very cool at 1:56

OH YEAH. Especially after a good rain. I've seen 55 gallon drums, tires (one still on a rim!), and some huge trees in that river. Always have to keep a sharp eye out...the tug-and-barges are constantly kicking stuff up from the bottom as well.

I launched at Waukegan. I caught up with 32 vette at the show. We couldn't have asked for a nicer day on Lake Michigan. The lake was calm as could be, but there was tons-o debris on the river. No joke I some how was dragging the same branch twice and it never hit my prop... How does that happen? Certain areas are worst than others.
