My buddy Matt just picked up a 31 Cig bullet. Went on the sea trial on the illinois river sunday. Boat runs well. Has some built 509's, new bravo X drives, marine machine steering, nice boat. I'll probably be out showing him the ropes this weekend. Im sure he'll be on serious offshore soon, he aleady has the cigarette logo on his blackberry screen saver! You cig guys dont waste no time with that stuff!

Hell, I been in this for about 7 seasons now, and still cant figure it out! lol, maybe I'll toss him his keys and have him follow me out to new buffalo in 6-8's for his first run! The fun doesnt start till you blow a motor, drive, or at least put a few stress cracks in the hull!!

Sweet! I'm glad he finally found something...he was all over the map on that one for sure! This is a waaaaaay better choice for a first ride IMO than an OE with 1000s!

I have to agree with that one. Can't wait to see this one on the water and maybe even go for a spin:):):). Bullets have always had my eye!

Probably East chicago Im thinking? Maybe shoot to hammond, to show matt how to get there by water, then maybe downtown to the pen for a beer? Its really pretty open, matt just wants to get out there and run the boat and learn a few things.

Was on the lake today testing a 46 Cig with new power. Not too many boats out there, temp showed 65*, and the faster you go, the colder it got. Where the phuck is summer ??? :( Warbird came in this afternoon with us.

Who's got the new 46 Frankie? Which one is it and what power? Miller and I were down at Burnham working on a boat...it was damn chilly down there.

I gotta say, I was really impressed with the bullet. Its got some healthy motors, propped right, and boat just feels really solid. Not sure how fast I got it up to, the liquid filled gaffrig was showing about 75, but who knows what that could really be. I know Matt was loving every second yesterday, and what a treat to be able to hook up and run with Hippie kid, and lil D on his first time out.

As much as I love my old barge, I gotta say, driving the bullet was fun! Felt like driving a corvette vs. a lincoln town car. Kinda makes me want a smaller boat!

Usual 4-6 thats a little excessive don't you think? 2-3's is more like it! If the water was that big WE would be lucky to get 20 hrs a summer.

Maybe on your side of the lake !!!!!!!

Come hang around on the south side on Navy Pier,,,, or launch at EC and come around the point of the wall !!!!!!

Although I will say,,,, besides the Chicago Scene party day,,,,,, last year the lake was unusually flat

Den,
I have been all over the lake for numerous years. When one side is flat the other is ruff. The corner at EC is always ruff due to the wave action hitting the wall and bouncing back. As far as the south side of Navy pier lots of boat traffic in that area plus the pier and the back wall send the water back and forth!

More than likely it was Strip Poker, it was at Daves when I dropped mine off there 2 weeks ago, he had done some stuff to it and it looked ready to go.

Congrats Matt, welcome to the family :seeya:
