Trip 500s on a good day with a good chop I could get 73. Which isnt to bad for a non stepped 13,500 lb boat

I told my wife I was buying an exhaust for my truck to get 3-4mpg and it only costs $300 hehe. Spent $1500 Got some of my parts shipped to my work others to the house. I get packages all the time at the house for work, so she doesnt know what they are :P

Now, if only chris would quit being a bad influence on me... I am going to get in trouble here soon.

F419 I will be boating with you . I'll bring my race modified seadoos hehe

The seadoos will out run me until we hit some real water. I get that all the time leaving Liberty landing then I leave them. If not I can bring my Buddy's skater. She dial's in at lake X at 163 mph

ya no doubt. I was looking at a 24' baja the other day, the chick put a damper on that one really quick BUT did say I could get a boat when we moved back to Idaho in 3 years. i don't think she knew what she just did telling me that. between my parents carver cabin cruiser and my brother 24' aluminum river jet boat, I will go towards fast like a formula and between the 3 of us, have everything covered.
