    Why is it I'd rather spend $50 on a bottle of vodka than $3 for a gallon of gas?
    CUZ A $50 bottle of vodka is drank from a $2 glass where a $3 gallon of gas is drank from a $300k boat

    Very good point. Answer me this, why does beer taste better on said boat.

    Exactly what did the boat do prior to the "wicked" tune by Aaron.
    I ran it up to 157 the first weekend I had it (Desert Storm) but I lost a blower pulley so that stopped our fun that day.
    Then it spent all summer back east and I didn't have the opportunity to crank it back up untill Smoke on the water and I was well on my way, when I lost a flywheel bolt, therefore stopping my fun that day (of course, Baker took care of the repairs on their dime). One other trip I made back there to run it, there were 4 footers out, so we didn't get to run it too hard. Then at the Shootout, I didn't have the right props. Then all the other times, I had friends in the boat, so I didn't go past 150 for obvious reasons.
    So, this was really the first opportunity I've had to gas it!

    That's the secret...staying together. There's always tons of boats with plenty of power, but it all boils down to making it down and back in one piece. DeFrees used to run with Gary all the time - but motor gremlins always got him too.
    I think the only time Predator broke is when Gary gave me a ride (on Thursday) and smoked a motor.
    Houston....I think we got a problem...
