Title: Cool Pics from a test an tune day
Post by: jrork on October 11, 2008, 11:13:09 AM: A bunch of the gang served as patrol boats for Shawn Reeds Pro Mod "Top Secret" for a test and tune. They had safety boats and Austin is a certified diver so it was as safe as could be expected given where they did it.

Here's some pics (including Mount Rainier in the back of some poking above the cloud..

As far as the 5-0's, they ran the boat ran yesterday when most folks arent home and the lake is empty. The sherriff patrols heavily on weekends but pretty much leaves it alone on the weekdays.

Post by: jrork on October 11, 2008, 12:53:03 PM: The lake where they ran the boat is Lake Tapps which is a reservior for a power plant. Very cool lake with lots of fingers and canals to boat in.

The shot from our garage of the mountain shows Dyes Inlet here in Silverdale which is salt water and leads to the Puget Sound.

Post by: GlassCutter on October 11, 2008, 07:42:45 PM: Man oh man running that boat there would be like motocrossing on a golf course! Tearing shit up!

See if this works for you guys. 2 speed kept shifting to second too soon but otherwise, clearly the fastest boat that's ever been on that Wakeboard/jetski haven of a lake

He's got a 19' Cheyene (sp?) with a 521" Ford with enough juice to outfit half the the dentists in Washington. We let him bring the fishing boat when the weather gets shitty
