Doug Wright already "fitted" the windshield and Shaun Torrente will install it during rigging. By the time this boat makes it up here, it will have been an almost 2 year process that began when I traded my '19 DW for a Victory. As some know, the Victory hulls began having issues and my dealer, Randy Sweers, had to stop doing business with them. So yes, I am beyond ready to be driving this thing!

I knew there was a story in there somewhere.
Sounds like it’s all good now.
Awesome machine.

Other option is the way the desert storm poker run used to dine. First day, on Friday would be a nice long run to lunch (havasu springs) then second day (Saturday) was poker run.

maybe just do a long lunch run to bay view Friday. And then do a couple stops on Saturday.
I really like that PBC format your talking about. After doing a few lunch runs in FL last winter, the casual, less planning aspect sounds good. The problem is always going to be finding dock space on the lake.

Yep. But look at that water. Rocky Mountain snowmelt and worth the wait.

I always tell people that have never been they need to go check it out. The water is absolutely stunning. 20' of visibility to the bottom, crystal clear water. Scenery is insane and the fresh air is crisp and clean. Just typing about it brings me back to going up there all the time growing up. Need to get back up there ASAP. I'd really like to make the July event this year. We'll see.
