[fund razor]

Thanks Nick!

Cool pics.

[Jassman]

[Magic Medicine]

Great pics

[BBB725]

What's with the shirt? You loose a bet? Looks like something I would wear:biggrinjester:

[Bobcat]

[.38Special]

[Buoy]

Awesome pics Nick!
Thanks for sharing.

I have a shower curtain that looks just like that!:sifone:

[cuda]

Nick, I was working on that Coast Guard cutter when I saw the biggest manatee in my life! I thought it was a whale.

[LadyDaze]

Hey there, this is Mrs. Cigdaze, LadyDaze.

Now that's a funny statement! You should see his closet! He hardly wears solid colored shirts; the louder the print, the better :rolleyes: I swear he has stock in those hawaiian print clothing!

I'm surprised he didn't have his Bwanna hat on!:)

Hey Erin.:)
I couldn't picture Nick in anything but a Hawaiian print shirt.
Gotta admit I thought it looked like something I'd be comfortable wearing.

Nick - where was the hat? The look is incomplete without the hat.:sifone:

[cigdaze]

Guys/gals, you're welcome...glad you liked the pics. I took all of those from the docks (obviously) before the run. They were just leaving, and as they departed, I left to go up to Miklos's party...I had a bad feeling when we left, knowing what the water was like. When we went by the waterside park, I could see how bad the chop was, and water was pouring up over the St. Pete Pier...that's when you know it's bad.

Some chick sat on it a couple weeks ago...it's a goner. I have to buy a new one. :26:

[phragle]

why was aquamania there and not out playing with Gieco and JBS???

[cigdaze]

The new motion is sick! Love it. And the Statement boat...well, made a statement. It's a slick-looking boat. :cool:

Also, check out the paint on the MTI - the flames are incredible. One of the best paint jobs, I'd ever seen.

[Buoy]

Let me know where I can order one - I could use one myself.

Oh, and did you see this?
WTF?!?!....I can't believe someone would do this?!

[MikeyFIN]

gotta say all them new cats starts to resemble too much each other...all the open V bottoms still get my attention, great to see that among all that bling...

[cosmic12]

Great pics thank you very much. In post #4 pics 1 & 2 what is that? I love the look of it. Not sure if I have ever seen one before, or is it just the paint that makes it look so different?

I like em too! I always were them on a boat for two reaons:
1. You can unbutton them and cool off without getting your shoulders sunburned,

2. They are much easier to spot when you're in the drink!:26:

I know them all. Nick worked on a couple of my boats. I really liked that diesel power cat he had, and I'm not a cat sort of guy. He said it ran 100 with Merc props as big as he could get them, and didn't want to fork out the obscene amount for Herrings.

I take it that is some sort of a boom box....???

great pics btw....

I agree that Motion is cool....

[cuda]

Oh sht...look who showed up! :eek:
Better mind your P's and Q's now!

By the way, the root of that saying stands for pints and quarts of beer!:)

[Wylie-Rat]

Great Pictures - Look like every one had a wonderful time! I know it looked crazy, but I sure did like the boat with the POP-UP Stereo System...

[Scarab KV]

Nice pics Nick.

[MattBMiller]

Great pics! Makes me wonder what I'm doing up here right now...

[lowblue320]

Thanks for the pics, wish I could of been there.....

The last time I saw Gordo, he was hoisting the trophy for an Apba race in St Pete. :)

I have no idea, but I thought that you had done some work to yours and it looked a lot better...this one, not to be mean or anything, looked all original - and needed some TLC.

Yes, indeed! Thanks again, Steve! A great time as always. Good times. It was nice to see all you guys again.

SteveOh no we didn't...We made it a point get in on that! :)
The party was incredible. Thanks!

[cuda]

If anybody knows more about the history of boat racing, and can tell a story better than Steve, I've never met him. :)

[SKATIN]

The blue cobra motion had a similar stereo I'm sure someone has pics of it.. A third hatch inbetween both engine hatches lifted up and had a lot of speakers in it. It was loud! That guy was cool he was letting people on his boat and turning the engines on and revving them every 20 minutes.

[Bodyshot1]

Looks like a great time...I'll get my azz one of these years, Steve...
