We did this get-together a couple of weeks ago... the guy in the Allison took most of the pics... fun ass run with enough boats. We went from Lago Vista, which is where about half of us put in, and ran almost to Marble Falls Dam.

Yeah, it's an 87 YT V-King... Barry will be at Plowmans again in October for sure... He has actually mentioned getting another hull to handle the horsepower better... not sure if he will sell this one or not. Heck, he's running an Alpha drive, so after blowing 4 or 5 lower units, he learned not to get on it too hard from a dead stop!:D

Friend of mine got ahold of an openbow Hydrostream, never had seen one until he brought it home. Last I talked to him, he was tryin to find another motor to hang on it, LOL....
That might called, "learning the hard way"..... :D All in the name of fun though, right? :rollside: :D

[jdf]

That looks like fun. I've been out a lot, but I did not see that group of boats. That's where I always play between Lago and Spicewood. Love that whole stretch of lake. Lake is finally full, you could get real close to the dam now.

We are gonna run that stretch in another week or two. My friend Gary that has the Red and Silver Mirage always puts in at Lago Vista at the Marina there... If you ever see him out, pull up to him and say "That boat would sure be pretty some pink stripes on it"...:jawdrop: inside joke...:D

Can someone explain to me what a poker run is? Sorry probably a stupid question but i'm not familiar with this:)

[R.A.D.man]

Ratso, I'll remember that. Is that the boat you did a year or so ago in your shop. I remember a thread you posted somewhere about one similar, looked real nice. Maybe I'll see you out there.
