I had the PLBC boys out for a day of footin Saturday, cracked the first beer before 9:30am, what a day, and the old guy's (me and Booby) came away in one piece!!
First shot needs a title: I was thinking something along the lines of "3 reasons to use Trojans" or maybe "Don't Ask Don't Tell". Kurt - Johnny - Kevin

Quinner and Booby were proving that old age doesn't mean you can't hang with the young guns. I'm pretty sure Chris had the most runs as well as longest run of the day too. Unfortunately there isn't a shot of Jonny's nose AFTER he walked straight into the bimini, haha.

Hollywood Booby and I again
I am toast! 
Nice job, they both managed to ski past my line/handle! 
Lots of collisions and bumps that day, some survived, some not.

Kurt,
Just a little sore yesterday, today the congestion is killing me, my nose is running like a river, Quinner to self - duct tape nose next time. Next time we need to get some more players so we can pull 4 or even 5 at once, who's in? |

Awesome pictures!!! Must be amazing to watch in person. That wake is flat as a board too. Is that 40-42 MPH?

Not to share in the limelight, those are great pics guys. But here is some incentive to shoot for more players. I wish I was in your part of the country, I'd volunteer to join the team.
(I'm 51...is that old enough?) |

The wake was indeed amazingly small. I'm used to climbing that wall behind the 2001 to get over, wasn't even an isssue behind the 206 hull. I have no idea what the speeds were but I'm guessing low 40s like Ken is also suggesting. Even the deep starts felt plenty quick.

In looking at the pics again, I see you have mastered the art of "cheeking"...steering with your butt so as to avoid your colleagues on the start...a valuable skill.

We had another rope and handle but never ended up going for 4. By years end we will have 5.
Speed was right in the range mentioned. That boat had such a solid pull and very little bow rise, a treat to drive. |

Ken,
We were mostly running right around 40 I believe, it is always a blast to be right next to eachother, gabbin at 40mph, the biggest trip is when you bang into eachother, Booby took me out on one start, I just stood and he was still butt ridin, he bounced off of Hollywood which shot him straight at me, he came across like a chop block. 75, We could use ya man, I am 42 and Booby is 45, we did spank the youngens a couple times but they rebounded, Hollywood was solid all day and we always made him ride on the inside through the corners, no question he worked a bit harder. Still have some shots of Kurt Johnny and Hollywood to post. |

One of my favorite "threesome" shots. These go back a few years, but great memories. This is in a frame on my bookcase at work. I have to confess, my endurance isn't quite what it used to be...I can't barefoot as long either.

You guys make the sport look like cake. It must be a huge rush being side by side at 40MPH+ on barefeet. It takes me 100% of focus on what I'm doing to stay up. I also didn't know that you could use an extended pylon to barefoot. Must give you a nice lift out of the water. Now you just need two other people to jump in the picture. Keep the cool pics coming!

Looks good guys,
I wonder how many hours I would have to put on the stairmaster this off season before I could fit into my old barefoot suit? I never did master a deep start although at the time I was trying to learn all the fastest boat I had was my 16 foot outboard I am guessing the inboard would make it a bit easier. |

Am I reading too much into this??  Nice pics by the way.
On the starts I try to cheek out but sometimes don't make it over the crest and end up shooting back into the middle guy. As long as he can hang on I'll get up and out of the way. It helps to have a nice plump bottom to glide over that wake. |

Mojo, Cla$$ic, we could have used you, or at least your 100qt cooler, we did run out of beer, lucky Booby had some backup's in his fridge since mine was empty! |
