If you expect me to barefoot any slower than 36, Im gonna have to go on a diet! Bring on some heads and an Acme prop!

Doesnt look like Ill be able to make it in the AM, Brad. Gotta get to work on time so I can jet back to CT early.

BTW, Brad, I'm very impressed with your 21 year old stock motor and stock prop pulling four, deep-water start footers. Truly amazing stuff. What brand of rocket fuel are you pumping?

Hollywood is correct on how we started. Actually based on the solid pull we got doing three, the boat might have done four deep just fine. At the beginning of the evening we came up with the plan how we would start, thinking the boat wouldnt do four deep and just stuck with the plan despite the boats obvious but hidden strengths. We didnt have much time to experiment because we were running out of daylight. This living at the arctic circle really starts to suck this time of year.

Oh and note to Alan, since I am now chiming in for the first time. Although just to be cool is always an acceptable excuse, they are not shades to be cool. I wear swimming goggles over my contacts since I am rather blind and the lenses tend to get washed away.

Anyway, as the others have said, it was a great night out, lots of fun, good way to wrap up the season. At the end of last year, although it was a stretch, we said we would give the midwest boys a run for the money. With Keiths and Brads impressive progress this summer, I think we got their attention. I have a feeling the competition is going to get a bit intense next year...and Oh, I'm not forgetting the spur of the moment Lake Norman crew and their 6-man (does it count if you bring in ringers from all around the country?)

Sorry, long post.

Larry,

The midwest contingent has done 4 many times including 4 CCFan's like your line, I don't really count the 5 we did on my lake because it was being pulled by an MC plus 1 guy had shoes on. As far as Lake Norman the 5 was all CCfan's, Jbear, Quinner, Nautique John, Hollywood & Johnny + Reid P at the wheel for bonus points, the sixth man in was John's Buddy Eddie. I think the new challenge now is going to be length of run's plus tricks, like that wicked cool double tumble by You and Timmy. We still have a couple weeks to pull one out of the hat so let's see what happens.

5 behind Brad's boat is going to be a challenge, when we did the 5 behind the BFN on Norman it was no problem however when we added the sixth it really slowed down and was a challenge for my 210lbs, couldn't see a thing. I think the 206 can do 5 but it's going to be a bit slow, 6 only if all are under 200.

Great work by all and nothing like a good challenge!!

FWIW Beth drove the 4 man run with CQ's 206 and mentioned that it wasn't trying too hard.

Quinner...Didn't you say you were going to try to get out here to CT sometime soon. We'd be happy to have you join our line.    Bring along one more midwesterner to round out the six. It will still be a New England event tho, as it will be a New England boat and happening in NE, right???

Glad to hear it James. It's been 80 degrees and sunny here the past 2 days. Got out this morning for a few runs behind the boat. No fisherman, but we certainly woke up the people sleeping in the house on the island

Have a great weekend everyone

Hey guys the owner of the python that I just bought said he has had seven footers behind it at once. He did not say what size they were, but I don't think anyone is going to need to lose wait before GL next summer for a six man run.

Wait, what? Python that I just bought? I know I haven't been living on the moon that long, but did you buy another Python or did I mis-understand?

Ken

Ahh, very nice choice of boat. Did you sell the BFN? That boat is a workhorse!

I'm happy to see that you had a great year, James. Thanks again for the use of your boat at GL. That was a very enjoyable morning. Post a pic of your new ride when you get it.

James
Did you pick up that pyhon in Waterford? I had posted one for sale on Watkins Lake.

Hopefully next summer, havn't made it back east in a few years now, that's where it all started for me!

Ken, my wife said to tell you thanks for your wonderful comments. She is wondeful, but I know keeping both will cost me something down the road. I was going to ask the group which boat they want me to bring next year to GL? But we will leave to wait until closer to GL.
