OG!
With all the food and great time that was had last year and meeting a lot of really cool people, (And of course, everyone had very cool boats as well), we wouldn't miss it for the world!
Tom is cool and takes a lot of pride in what he does and we know it will be a great time for everyone.
Lookin forward to it!

Hey Lar',
Where have you been?
This years regatta is going to be GREAT! Tom, Mike and myself are working with Jokers Wild again. We have the helicopter for aerial shots of the boats, poker run and BBQ by Shocker. I will not be boozin' as much as last year so, the food should be ontime this time.. :D Glad to hear you will be there!
We are looking forward to meeting the owners of the older Dana's

Is "G-Ride" going out to the regatta?

Funny you should mention that RD :wink: I had been thinking about that for a while now since I saw the write up of their last regatta in HB. That's really says something about a boat manufacture that is starting the company back up and wants to invite all boats that were made even under different owners. Hats off to Tom!! The only thing a think may be a problem is most of the boats of older DANA persuasion are under 23' and are shallow vees. I for one know that my boat doesn't do well in 2 foot Havasu chop!:eek:
Now maybe if it was in Parker ;) But I know Jokers Wild hasn't done anything in Parker since the All Jet Regatta a few years ago.Speaking of Parker, I'll be down again on the 16th. Sounds like you'll be around. Silvers on me.

G-R,
You should call Tom and get the details. Other "big boat" owners might have room for you during the poker run.

I'm going to be at the river that weekend. I want to check out all the Dana's. Does anyone else on here have a Dana besides OG?
Any pics?

Sorry it took so long for me to get to this thread, sometimes a guy has to work! I'll be at the Regatta whenever it is, I didn't go looking through that thread that you posted OG to find out when it is.
I'd post a pic of mine on this site if I knew how to do it.

Nice boat G-Ride.
I was really refering to the 27' though. The only ones I ever see are OG's and the one on the site (which is always at Dana) Is that one Toms or something?

Got to scan it first. Maybe that will give me something to do. But I will take you up on that offer soon. I see you are in La Verne, can you just come and take a picture of it?
Mine was the American flag at the LA Boat Show.

NO! You know better then that. Tom likes OUR boat on the show room floor so people can see it. It is at the shop now because we are putting our NEW motor in it. Should be in by Sunday!

Hey OG, if you are at the shop, will you take a picture of mine and post it on here!
New Engine? Is that a special engine?

You need to pick your boat up and go to the water! He who dies with the most hours, WINS!!!!
I will, if I have a chance.
I bought a reworked 496 HO whipple. All the right parts in the top end. I will post a "my new motor" thread when I have all the facts on paper. Today's dyno sheet has it at 600HP and 711ft lb of torque. More to follow!

Ive only had that boat since February and have already been to Havasu twice, Elsinore once and Newport to Long Beach. I didn't buy that boat to have it sit. Im actually picking it up tomorrow and will be up in Havasu the weekend of the 16th.

OG!
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it again! It's been a while since I've been out. Went last week and didn't take my boat and it about killed me!
We'll be going next week as well!
Looks like they're having a big poker run the same weekend and it oughta be cool.
Are you going to be there next weekend?
