Footin with the PLBC boys

Boys, I feel like a proud father the day his sons graduate or bang their first skank, 5 footers any day. Come December, if the weather is above 32, we oughta fire it up for one last run in Texas before we officially close the season for the entire U.S. They say the weather down here ain't bad and there will be days in the 70s easy. Additionally, anyone thinking of challenging the PLBC in drinking or any watersport should seriously investigate their current life insurance policy as the PLBC does not claim any responsibility for the injury and/or death of any non-members attending sanctioned PLBC events.

If you're seriously bringing girls like that you'll have to let me know, I don't want to bring my own and have a huge cat fight at the sandbar. Apparently when you're with one lady and bring a few others they don't get along...

Hey, this guy says he likes the Hollywood type. We'll invite him to GL for you

I say bring all 10 of them!

Alright already. MOJO, I guess it's time to start a new GL07 thread and get this thing rolling.

I'm guessing that after seeing our thorough documentation of every single outing we've had that people will start getting the point that missing any of these events is truly their loss! It's a great group of people and things just generally work out well when we get together.

Hopefully everybody shows too, in 06 we had a handful of boats/people that never showed, or said they couldn't make it.

Yeah, but that with straight prop fins there Ken.... yuck, yuck yuck,,,, I had to do it bro Let's look towards a great 07' season...

It would be great to have you guys from the N.E out at our "Sconnie fest" next summer.. Yep, between Quinner, Brownie and the PLBC crew, a lasting impression has already been left with the good folks of Green Lake.. More the merrier !!

Guess I don't need to worry much about it.

Youre better off going with a lower pitch prop like the 542 in that case. It sounds like you have some real nice numbers though- probably perfect for what we do. The holeshot should have been pretty impressive, right? I wouldnt change a thing.

You're right, Tim. The 540 is the best of both worlds. I'm going to verify the top end with a GPS in the spring. The wake is flatter too. Let me know who you end up shipping your prop to. I want a quality repair job.

Cool reunion page............ if BKHallpa$$ can make it, so can I.

During our previous outing Hollywood, Booby and I did 3 deeps behind the 206, it pulled us right up, IRC Hollywood compared it to single behind his boat. You know we never did run em side by side w/o skiers to compare hole shot and top end.

I think the fact that the MC is running catlytic converters makes this less of an apples-to-apples comparison.

Is this the spot ? I missed the reunion page......I'll have to check it out. I've got some relatives in Carol Beach......... don't know how close that is to Green Lake; I'll have to do some research.

LOL! Ok! I'll get the X80 out - twin 350's and a place for quinner to squat!

I can only imagine the drag on any boat with pulling 5-6 barefooters deepwater start, then establishing the correct speed for all footers. You're over-working the engine at that point, IMO. I imagine 375HP is the minimum. The Python has some serious torque too, which should overcome the drag. Problem is, the Python is no longer an option on CC boats. Ken

Ken, the motor is already pushing 2500lbs of boat through the water- a few extra footers wont hurt it. Think of all the wakeboarders running 2500lbs of ballast on a hull that already weighs 3500+ lbs. I bet my boat could pull 6 footers, as could a newer Ski Nautique.

Brad, home brew? Now we're talking!
