Chief, do you know who did the art work on your boat?

Can you believe I just saw that overhead shot for the first time ever last night???? I have to get a copy of that.

The first name of the lady is Barbara (what a coincidence huh?), and I have to find her name on the boat to find her last name. I want to say it started with a B also, but not 100% sure. I do know her name is on one of the feathers off of the spear.

I asked Gail if she knew any Barbara that painted the Apaches in the Warpath thread. I hope she responds.

Wait till you see the video shots of the boat, incredible. Of course there really is no action, the boat looks like its on rails. There is a point though where you can see this look on Rob's face like "That's right, I'm the f'in man, do you see me in this bad boy!" The only thing that would have been better is like 4-5's so the thing could really work it. Oh, and BTW, the videos will be available shortly :D

He thinks that everytime he drives that boat LOL!!!!

We were only able to get the boat out of the water twice on poker run day, and that was running over other wakes.

Can't wait to see the video. We'll be buying two!

Sounds like an incredible price from everything I've heard of the boat.

Someone could pick up a pretty nice ride for reasonable coin.

That being said, I still can't believe that WARPATH was listed at $125,000 just a few years ago. Don't know what it actually sold for. And, that boat is the "Holy Grail" of offshore.

I wish Barb and Rob both the best in their lives.
