Inaugural bad influence offshore Brian Miller unofficial, loosely organized, extremely voluntary run to Michigan City. Departure point will be either East Chicago or Hammond...arrival will be in Michigan City just in time to see the raceboats from the Great Lakes Offshore Grand Prix be craned in for practice. Possible party on the docks or at Mateys to follow (suggestions are welcome). Slipping in overnight at MC and watching the races Sunday is highly recommended...but your own responsibility.
Who's in?

06-28-2010 07:10 PMYou'd be fine making the run from East Chicago...but if you are sweatin' it, just put in at Portage. Kinda looks like we'll be hooking up there w/the two groups. You gotta remember...you've probably got one of the baddest 25s out there! Originally Posted by ICDEDPPL

You will be fine in your 25' Active Thunder. MM and I used to run all over the place in my 24' Outlaw and his 24' Checkmate.

06-28-2010 10:14 PMIf its calm my garage queen may even be ready. The group will have to stop at Mt. Baldy so I can join the group for the ride in.
Then MM can hang with me and save some gas!

06-29-2010 12:53 AMGuess I need more seat time. Can`t use the power if I`m in the air,(and thats alot when the waves are bigger) and I`m never sure when the drive is coming out of the water i`m afraid if I don`t throttle back i`ll kill my brand new drive so I drive slower.
Two weekends ago I had tabs at 7 (way down) that seemed to make it better.. I don`t know if thats right or not
Last weekend was awesome.. 70mph+ no problem in that water.Two weekends ago it was like a washing machine anything more than 30mph and the kids started screaming. Me and my ski were like one I knew its every move, and I loved getting air, now everytime the drive comes out I`m like ****.
I must become one with the boat like the ski haha
