Aqua...i met and made a v-drive friend today! He was cool as hell and super nice guy. He has the only v-drive that I have seen out on the river where I'm at I'm Missouri. It's a sanger with a BBC. 600 horse i believe he said

We made a few passes together. It was kinda rough out and after the 3rd pass I think it was we both called it quits. But to answer your question...it was no slouch. He got me out of the hole for sure but I got him on the big end. And from a roll believe i got him as well. But it don't matter. It was all in fun and we were both happy and glad to meet and hang out. Both just sharing the love and passion we have for badass boats!

But we will see what happens when the water isn't as rough. Who knows what will happen then...and my buddy Chris just had a 496 built with an 871 on it that made just under 800 horses. Hoping to go out with him this sunday so if I do I will post some pics of his float

Yes hope n the Station Wagon is gonna move out a lil bit. The 454 ain’t like n this Hi Helix impeller but the 632 will.  N it was wonderful. Oyster Bar was closed so we ate at the loading dock. Tied off to the back of a Tug boat.

If I remember correctly from a while ago you said you were in Hannibal. We are about 1.5 hours away from you. We boat between the Winfield dam and the Alton dam. I don't do or have Facebook but there is a page for where we boat. I believe it's called " pool 26 river boaters "  and apparently some hydrostream guys are calling me and my buddy Chris with the other blown jet out so we might be setting up a few races soon. And the guy with the v-drive apparently wants in on it too. So it should be interesting

I'm an hour north of Kansas city and boat the Missouri river. We went over to Hannibal last fourth of July weekend and had a blast and would love to go back. There wasn't any other jetboats when we went but it would be cool to make a St. Louis run and meet up with you guys.

Oh ok. Yeah you are farther out than I thought. You are about 4 - 4.5 hours away from me i believe. But yeah, it would be a good time

Sounds like a plan fellas I'll have to get something in the works. What area exactly are you guys in so I can check out motels. Or even some place close to where you all put in.
