Yes my cig took a hit but minor. I bent cavitation plates on both drives, housing on props and trim indicator on starboard drive. Drove boat to 61st docks and pulled it out. Took some scratches on both sides and the swim platform but all will be fixed by middle of next week. My hats off to Clearlake Powerboat Services, they are doing a great job on the boat.
Other than the storm, a great time was had by all. The Clear Lake folks did a super job.

Sorry to hear that. Damn mother nature

Last time I saw Fast Eddie, he was wearing some coke bottle glasses and lining up a shot on the 8 ball to teach Tom Cruise a little humility.

That cigarette is the one that came out of the govment auction earlier this year.

It is a staggard straight bottom TG though.

Worth looking into for the power out of the cat.

I couldn't find the 4 blowers. They msut have been in the glove box.

Still a fountain. Like someone once said. If you put enough HP in a garbage dumpster it will go fast, but why?
