Cougar molds.

But they have large strikes and European strikes.

That was Bruno (Koplin?). He made a couple videos for Stu and moved on.

2005 was literally the biggest year in the decade for poker runs/new builds. Theme boats were literally getting built for every show, big teams like Nashville Katz were on a nationwide tour. It was insanity.
As popular as that video is I'd bet Stu cringes when he sees those boats running that fast/that close/no safety gear etc.

as I watched it I thought if Stu produced that video now it would be a 5 minute long scolding for no life jackets, girls on the hatch, running too fast and close. Everything now looks like a light cruise compared to the all out thrashings of 02-06

I mean, I wouldn't say the new ones are terrible. Just a switch from a more loud, in your face, music video, party style overview to a transition to more TV show format overview. I don't mind the new ones but that one '05 one was absolutely the best ever. I may be bias because I was there though LOL



I think we're back to 05 status, just different culture now but the runs are back to the numbers they were back then across the county. But no doubt, '05 ish was the heyday of poker run events nationwide. And then, BOOM. The bottom fell out.

I remember the first poker run I did on FPC with a good friend Chet Huffman (RIP) in his first built pleasure TS Gun in 2000. Sat through the drivers meeting listening to Stu and I remember thinking, "f*ck this guys kind've a nazi" LOL. But over the years, I've seen what he does and puts up with and the concerns of liability etc. I get the message, even if the delivery can be smoothed out at times. But yea, you look back at some of the video footage from the late 90's and early 00's. Chicks riding on engine hatches, flashing, zooming in on thongs, no vests, running close to each other, running 100plus away from the copter, etc. Would give him a stroke now LOL.

The guy said he has owned the boat for about 2 years. With a blown engine realistically its a $3000 boat. I feel sorry that that boat has degraded to that condition. I remember it being for sale on POP yachts a while ago.

I was on the run when PL got drenched by a Italian cat owner (popular on here for his bad luck stories).............and PL "rubbed him" a few turns later as payback while at the helm of a brand new 42X.

Damn that looks immaculate. From what I’ve read about them someone should snap that up quickly.
Personally, I’ve always thought they were a bit ugly but hey, what do I know? 🙂
