Dave, this is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. You guys sure know how to amuse yourselves in the wintah time. Nice job. :cheers2:



Ouch- that guy should be beaten with a bag of oranges. :smash: Even before I got to this post I was gonna make a comment about how WEIRD it is to me to look at a frozen marina. Like my brain just doesn't compute the combination of ice and dock slips. Makes my head hurt. :huh:

Apparently the owner passed away last summer and my first thought was "an no one here could take the time to pull this thing out for the family?" WTF?! Glad i'm not in that marina that just doesnt make sense (unless the guy was a real A**hole)

so last year we did a snowmobile poker run here on the river that hits a few of the boatclubs we frequent in the summer. At one of the stops and a few beers in i looked at my friend John and said we need to build something different for the 2010 run. well out came the bar napkins and pencils and this is what we came up with. I picked up a Ski-Doo Escapade (from Packinairs fleet) and we got a doaner boat from a local yard and went monster garage on this thing. First there was Chip Foose and Overhaulin' . . . . . . we have KEELHAULIN'


Not only are we coast guard compliant with full nav and 360 lighting but we are also Michigan trails compliant with headlights, tail and break lights. All dash gauges function as well as steering wheel works the front skis. It actually does about sixty but with all ice and no snow it was a handfull. Track was fully studed (thanks to 2TrickRick) but we removed the rear skis carbides thinking the they would fight the front ones, gonna putt those back on and see how it works, she spins out pretty easy if your not a head of it. First test drive was Friday and the poker run was sunday. Went great and this thing was a hit wherever we went. Pretty much stole the show . . . .ahhhh the shameless art of self promotion

OMG, that's fuggin funny, best I've seen in a while! We gotta hang out!!! :driving:

Now you need to go "water" skiing behind it!

we where going to bring the kneeboard lol

 

[glassdave]

Went up to Devils Lake in Mi for tip up town and sled drags. They actually let us run 'er down the track. Have no idea what kinda time we did lol. Heres John "The Big Kahuna" knee boarding. what a riot. I think we were a hit up there lol, had a crowd pretty mush non stop. That was a pretty good sized event with some sick sleds to say the least. Ya know whats funny . . . . . 1968 Clipper Craft by its self . . . not to impressive . . . . .1988 Skidoo Escapade by itself. . . . not to impresive . . . . . . graft 'em together . . . . instant "cool thing those guys brought" :cheers2:




the thing ran great and we made several dozen or so laps around the place



lookin for a dock
