Just blew up my motor 

If you have the pain management  system firmly in place, how about some details.   Nobody seems to wanna talk about any of the GOOD things that happened.     GOOD things DID happen yes???

Few more,  Had a great time as usual. Could'nt ask for a better bunch of friends to hang out with.

I had a blast! Was great to meet a lot of cool people. Thanks again Mike for lunch and beers at Harrys. First time for me there, that palce was awesome! Thanks again Crew for pulling me out. My boat ran awesome, but my setback came from a broken drivers seat, dammn wood is rotten The party in the parking lot every night was a blast also,what a great time Thanks also goes to whomever had the pizza delivered to us in the parking lot, that was so cool    Now I am just waiting for  the pics to get posted of the pole dancing 

One would think . . .                       or at least a tale or two.

Here are a couple that I forgot.  Jamminmon, Please post your pic's.

just a little update for those who dont know......my wife lost her wedding ring on the beach saturday am while putting on sunscreen and dropped it in the sand.....lets just say the rest of my weekend sucked.......later that day we called big 5 to see if i could buy a metal detector ther were like 150...so we went to the security office to see if we were allowed to get on the beach after hours to use it ...the head dude said we have someone who comes out and does it for "free"....WTF...I WISH THE FRONT DESK KNEW THAT they didnt have a clue when we called earlier...so anyway we called a guy from "treasure seekers" in bullhead, a 75'ish old dude, who has been mining and metal detection since i was born.WOW....he came out for like an hour and swep the beach and was balls deep.and couldnt find it yet, i tried to give him 40 for comming out he didnt want it......said he would be out monday am when the water would be down .... received a call monday @ 930 he found the ring about 8 inches deep in sand...gave it to security and my wife got it in the mail yesterday...he didnt want any money for finding it....just donate to one of his causes, like am vets, cancer society, or his detector club.....what a cool guy!.....so if u loose something on the river there....look him up he'll find it!

Great news 

how do you get a roost like that

There's only 2 setups I've ever seen personally, and specifically, built for that! One, is obviously Rivertard. Just insane. The other is our founding father Brad. I've witnessed Rivertard completely clearing bridges, and also have a hi-rez pic somewhere of Brad hitting the bottom of the Parker bridge (Rivertard was in my boat when I took the pic, dont remember which boat it was, I think the Pickle.), and Brad did it with a fat 20' cruiser! I'll dig it up, I know I sent it to Brad also. Makes my lil Moo (1.0) look like a child by comparison, which I was pretty proud of her for tagging the AVI bridge with a mostly stock JE pump, unmodified diverter and somewhere close to 600 HP with a close to 400' long roost.



What it takes? It's more what you can live with. Brad will be the first to tell you his cruiser is squirrely as hell running that way. Mikes prolly is too, but both of them have decades of experience driving these boats and you will note, there's NEVER another boat underway anywhere near them when they do these stunts in the pics. Including Rivertards famous "wheelie" where the boat is seriously, near vertical and you can actually SEE part of the intake on the bottom of the boat.

But if you really wanna challenge these guys on this, first are extensive grinding, droops, wedges (Rooster booster's maybe), and impeller work. Second, to be able to do it properly, a LOT of HP. Brad does his with probably around 400 HP and change. Dunno how that is really possible, save a big heavy boat. Mike? well, that's another animal. Closer to a 1/2 TON of HP, mods on the pump, droop, etc that would even make the pump designers cringe. Loaders go without saying, and I'm not gonna get into inducers as I don't beleive either of these guys are running one.

Cream of the crop.
