Chris' Big Boat Thread
holy moly, my little 22' downeast bass boat is pretty but it would have to be driven off a waterfall to hit 30 mph
she's a gasser, but at cruise (14-15 knots) she only burns 7 gph
VERY seaworthy, with a semi-displacement hull and full keel to skeg rudder(protected prop)

Remind your wife of the Chinese Proverb:
Wife who put husband in doghouse soon find him in cathouse.
especially with a Kool boat like that

That was the reason for going to the 419. I had a 357 I traded in
There has to be a way I can turn this into a thread about Chris' 9 volt Komodo chair.
Hey, I just did.
Very cool boat. I had a pickle fork with twin 454's in it that would shake the entire valley when I would let her rip on the calm lake at sunrise.
I can just see Chris in his RV leisure suit holding his wrap around glasses on while you rip!
LOL

these are always fun to go and watch. Back home on the Salmon River, there are jet boat races each year. this is a turbine powered boat. the bridge in the video is the "time bridge" north side of bridge is pacific time, south side is mountain time.

Iv seen some of these on TV. They are nuts. 125 in a small boat like that is scary. Iv driven the 36 skater to 150 and that wasnt to bad. The most scared Iv ever been was on a 16 ft galsstron with a 175 merc running 70 on the Hudson
