Didn't know you weren't posting FQ!  Been wondering about Badgersmilk though!   ;D

Anyway, just had a flashback to 1960 something, a Korean war era Evinrude outboard, a poorly installed sheer pin and a lost prop in 40 foot of water from our Monsoon boat up at Hardy Pond. 

Didn't really matter about the problem, it was about me and Pop and a cooler full of walleye...

I did retrieve the prop after about ten dives though.....amazing how long a 14 year old can hold their breath before they started smoking.

I suppose, welcome back would be in order...glad you enjoyed the trip and remember, catching fish, even one, is a successful trip.

FQ,

You gotta watch the surf temp.  If its below 80 you're gonna find slim pickins.  Summer or late spring is better in SW FL.

Bust Out Another Thousand!   ;D


you clearly have never had a boatt...

bust
out
another
ten
thousand

I don't miss my 100+ mph flatty one bit.  The old saying every one wants a 100 mph boat until they own one is the truth.  500+ cubic inch blow injected alky motors  are not cheap to build or run.

See, this what I don't get about speed boat guys. I mean, I'm not a wimp, but going 80 plus mph in a fiberglass shell with no brakes just strikes me as a bad idea. ;D

But it makes the trip from Grand Haven to Milwaukee for beers and a quick lunch a real hoot!   ;)

FQ13

it depends onthe boat, some handle the water really well, others need it to be like glass.

my current boat is by no means a speed deamon, it runs in the upper 60s, my next boat will be a  upper 80s low 90s boat.  a 20' stoker, with hopeful a 2.5 on it, but I would not say no to a 300x   ;D   its by far one of the best handling tunnels I've ever been in.

Hell, the good ol' boys got 100mph bass boats. But horsepower begins at 1000

Just the local rednecks around here,.... out for a spin,.....little rough until she planes out at 105mph,... ;D

let me see if I can find the video of a friend of mines 17' tunnel its a wicked little jet, twin turbo, about 1200 hp,   in the run he does  0-117 in 4.6 seconds.   he has had it up to 128, then he blows the pump( can't feed enough water into it)  

He has not ran the boat in 3 years, he got hurt at work.  His back is really messed up.


PS the guys that are really nuts are the sprint boat guys.  you want to talk about scary...

That first white water video was filmed up the road from my Dad's place.
