Actually gotta give Todd Sonic credit for all the footage this weekend.
Had a great time as always, sunburned in October you can`t beat that.
Me and the Todd stayed at Marina Shores and enjoyed probably the last boating day, boaters was pretty PACKED!

Nice videos Dan Baja. Looks like alot of Tom Foolery going on out there.
I heard there may have been more than one broken drive out there this weekend???

Leo had minor carb problem, but the only other thing broken was Rich's pride when Gary flat left him in the mist. Rich was doin 93 when Gary hit it. You had to see that in person to appreciate what those big twin Teague motors can do. Oh and Mike's gas issue...
I'll try to dump some photos shortly.

I'll see if I can upload my GoPro vids this evening some time...I've got a good shot of running pretty fast past Andy, and a similar one of Gary walking away from me at 75 or so...
That was just an awesome day. Perfect water, perfect temps...finally got to show some of my mountain-bike friends what I do with myself on the weekends. By the way they said "We have GOT to get a fast boat," I'm guessing they enjoyed it.
Last year, my port side fuel gauge was reading 1/4 tank when I headed back from Michigan City. It went down to "E" just off Boater's Beach...and I made it all the way back to Hammond. This year...same scenario...only it was at 1/4 tank when we left New Buffalo. Hit "E" just after Michigan City, with the stbd tank showing 1/4 to 1/3. Well...a couple miles from Portage, I lost rpm and the port motor started sputtering. I shut it down, and we had to idle for about 45 minutes to get into the ditch. I was on the phone PLEADING with the gas dock at Marina Shores to stay open, which they did. I got there at 5:02, put a couple gallons of 89 octane in there, and made it home safely.
Joe...I ran 81.7 at 5600 rpm. Using ToddSonic's calculator, that's 11.12% slip.

Would have been cheaper if I had stayed here a broke something than it was for me in Vegas. I think Harrahs will be adding on to their hotel very soon with my losses. Videos are awesome. What great water for October.

Hey Ryan...Sunday I mountain biked with a dude named Rick Wall. I've known him for a while, but hadn't seen him for a while until Sunday. We were talking about my boat, and he says..."Do you know a guy named Ryan that has a boat like that?" He said you a actually a cool guy to work with...something about leaving work to go to a bar.... Do you know anything about this?
