tim that's why I stayed out of the race between reid and boat doc, half the boat close to the same HP. The math just didn't work in my favor.

Nice pic! Since you ran even with Chris on the top end, Im sure youre faster than me, as he had me by 1-2 MPH. I probably would have taken you out of the hole- I even held off Reid up to about 25-30. Of course once he planed he took off like I was standing still. I was pretty happy with the way my bigger boat ran- I think the only guys faster than me out of the hole would be Joe and the Dr with their strokers. Maybe Ill pick up some top end once I figure out what prop works best. I just cant run with the lighter boats that run nose high- I probably never will, at least in the '90. |

at least you broke even or made a buck maybe. You bought it right to start with at 50% of what I paid for my ACME at dealer cost.

79...it says go slow, but not when you are racing!! Tim, I wish we could have line them up, I think that would have been a close one, I should not have messed with my prop!

considering the motor hasn't been touched in two years, winterized twice, the plugs have been fogged heavily 5 times (winter and spring) the last two years and the timing was off and it would ping a little on the top end, didn't have the 13x14 prop and had the 470 bolted on, I did all right, might have beat me out of the hole but didn't see anyone other than Reid pull away on the top end.
Oh well |

Yep Tim already has that Tique in his back pocket, I still think that is potentially a very fast hull and Tim isnt afraid of research, time, and money...

I think a 16' CC would be a nice addition to the fleet. The plan is to fix up the Tique and go from there- not sure if Ill keep it or trade it for a Mustang or Skier. It may be a few years before I have one worthy of lining up with your blue rocketship though! Brian's '72 did run very strong. That was a fun ride- it just kept on pulling. That 318 was pretty impressive. |

So Tim, does that statement mean you'll be getting a new boat and/or engine as well? I was really looking forward to a year off from the engine upgrade projects. Oh, I forgot, my boat was already that fast, so I'll make some time. And Stang you are correct! Brian's 72 Fuelie was strong and I'm confident that the 52 MPH it was reading with 3 guys in the boat was most accurate. |

Thats true, I just had to rub it in. Although I put a lot of space between us out of the hole, he finally did catch me by the time we were out of the bay. Not bad for a 20' boat full of people though, so Im happy. In a few years maybe Ill run with you guys on the top end- Ill need to bring a smaller boat to the party. |

Tim, that was a little salt in the cut ....
There were some strong boats in the hunt this year, hope there is more competition next year. With all the big iron out there ,I would have thought it would have less talk and more walk,But the pics tell the real story. TALK IS CHEAP / SPEED AIN'T boat dr |

Add Brians 72 318 fuel inj. SN to the list...that one is a rocket too!
Hollywood...12 oz in one hand seems to be a balance thing...without it ,I would walk with a list

OK, I give up trying to defend the drinking team. So here are some shots taken during the Green Lake 2007 Summer Nationals.
I'll be surprised if next year doesn't bring out a few more competitors. |

As far as I'm concerned Tim can hang with us PLBC guys when it comes to drinking. Him and I were at the Goose Blind till last call Friday night, up at 5am for barefooting, grabbed some quick breakfast, then right out to drinking at the sandbar, back to the Goose Blind and still around for last call Saturday night. My one critique is that I didn't see him doing any beer bongs, but that's still one hell of a bender.

Let's not forget 79, Moj, and if you were to watch Stang pretty much always has a beer in hand as well. I was drinking double Beam and Cokes ("jbear specials") and still couldn't taste the Beam on Saturday night. Ramped it up to a triple, all while keeping the price a at a low, low $5. I don't know how late you guys rocked the campground, but I know we closed down the Goose Blind Friday and Saturday.

With the Midwest having a captain like quinner and wingmen like Brownie and HW, it's hard to imagine anyone beating them. But the East discovered the ShotSki and got that party rolling, and with an bar icon like Marshall, we did some serious damage, plus JoeNY, TimB, Nick, MM,...well those are some pretty big boys also.

Don't know about anyone else but Tim sure held his own (in more way's than one), Thursday night we kind of wore him down however, he was wobbling and kept loosing his beer while we were turning all Reid's trailers around backwards down at the launch at 2:30am, lucky thing Five-0 gave us a lift back to the camp site that night!!

Forget the bragging rights for boat engines- wasn't there some trash talk about east coast vs. midwest drinking as well a while back? Who came out on top there?
