White Lightning made it from Key West to Lauderdale in some serious waves

[glh]

Minding my own business at the Marina this morning on the Mut and these guys come in with an Activator looking like they went through the wash!!!

My bet is they are the only ones who made it back this morning from KW.

Some Pics...

Twin Chief's dual turbos on each looked wild in that engine room. Got a pic will p0st once I can download it.

[Tom A.]

That's John R., also known as John the Plumber. He runs the heck out of that thing and isn't afraid of big water! The boat is a tank and those Chiefs make some serious HP!

[Gladhe8er]

Saw that at the Glen Cove, LI poker run last year. The engines are sick! My mechanic picked up a 40 Activator last summer and just about has it ready...it should be an awesome boat as well....3 man bolster, triple blown small blocks(434CID).

Here are the mills...Showing the salt after a heck os a 180 mile run in a rough ocean.

[MattBMiller]

Sweet engines!

[Sunsation96]

What size is that boat?

[jhenrie]

Saw that boat at the nyc poker run last year. All I can say is SWEET !!!

[Scarab KV]

Nice. What are those mills put'n out?

[Gladhe8er]

What size is that boat?

40 feet. I dont think Activator made too many of these.

[Gladhe8er]

Nice. What are those mills put'n out?

1350 HP I believe. I think that is in "race" form.

[Scarab KV]

1350 HP I believe. I think that is in "race" form.

David Ginfrida's 50 v Nor-Tech and Rod Weber's 43 Cat made it back with no problems as well yesterday, even with the 6-8s in the begining.

Nice Run last weekend...

[jackie.fpc]

And Stu was with the 47 fountain & 38 Cig, they got back fine also...

BUT most went home on trailers. Including King of Clubs. Kyle & I pulled it back to Grove Harbour Marina on Sunday. We watched two movies, stopped at the Fischer's new place in Key Largo, and had a great day!!

I'm confused. How many big powered boats named "White Lightning" are there?

I had been think'n that same? glad ya asked!! I was also think'n of the Legend that has got some exposure around here somewhere!!! If I remember right, big power wave crasher!!!???:sifone:

[MahopacMarine]

John the Plumber is a regular up in NY and participates in the NYC poker run every year. His boat is just beautiful and runs flawlessly every time I see it. You have really got to see this one in person to appreciate it!

cool!

[Shanghied Again]

Thats John the only guy that came to the Atlantic City Poker Run by water in one of the worst water conditions known to man, But John being as dedicated as he is pushed his way 60 miles up the coast in 10-15 ft rollers. He is a true boater.

Thank you.

That's the boat I thought I'd see when I opened this thread.

[cuda]

You ever see Cosmo the Plumber in the movie Moonstuck????
I'd have a pretty nice boat too! :)

Kidding, beautiful boat.

[RPM]

Me too! That boat is sweet! The crew he keeps onboard aren't bad either...:drool5::

I still don't see the car......

[Edward R. Cozzi]

Boy that Travis does know how to live!

[cuda]

I still don't see the car......

I had to look twice before I saw it. You see quite a few on those car/boats and the Mt Dora Antiqe Boat Show.

Note to self: Never name your boat the same as a well know performance boat. If you named yours first, it's better to change your name. :)

Just send me a PM anytime you want the dumb questions asked. I can take it. ;)

I have been actively reading these boards every day for almost nine years now and I can honestly say the only time I've seen the name "White Lightning" mentioned is in reference to the boat at LOTO.

Maybe I should pay better attention? :ack2:
