You know the clip I'm talking about, please post a link to that chit for old time sake :thumb:that would be way cool.

Thats a classic video, if you turn up the volume you can hear my drunken mumbling in the background. What a good time that was.

Blown Hydro

This is my buddy's Blown Hondo V-drive Hydro. I got to co-pilot this thing the first weekend of June. We had our first Southern Hotboat get together in North Carolina at High Rock Lake. Looks and feels to be running about 100 or a lil better but we never have put a GPS in the thing. I will try and get some vid of this monster this summer. This boat totally scares the crap out of me and talk about getting looks, they look at us like we are crazy when we ride this beast :thumb:

Jetmate pics

My buddy has two jet boats and they are a blast. He has a big block 79 Carlson CVX19 and has a big block 74 Eliminator. I think my next checkmate needs to be a jet. If yall have any jet boat pics please post them. Thanks Fred.

I have a 1972 jetmate, Had it down to the bare hull. Just put it back in the water a year and a half ago. Its a lot of fun to drive. It's got a pretty decent V so it can take some water. I've got plenty of pics in the (picture this) section of the forum. Look under (vintage jetmate). :bigthumb:

Yea I've seen the pics of Red's jet. I love those pipes. That's the color combo mine used to be or real close. I'm in the process of building a hatch for mine, looking to have it done for next summer.....Hay anyone out there have an idea what a boat like mine or Big Red's is worth?

Hay......You haven't lived till you've ran the Chesapeake. It would take a life time or two to see all of the bay and all its tributaries. If anyone ever decides to head this way.....let me know.:cheers:
P.S. That's a great lookin swimmin pool!!! Bet the catfish are good too!!!:lol:
