Obviously, you haven,t seen or heard of a speedboat called MYWAY, from our neck of the woods. It had a world speed record in it,s class of around 225 MPH. It is equipped with 2 helicopter jet engines, and is the fastest boat by far in any of the North America poker runs it enters. The acceleration is incredible, and so is the sound, as it flys by all the other boats. The owners name is Bill Tomlinson. Use google, and check it out.

There were about 5 DCB wide bodies on the lake yesterday. They were doing a lot more floating around than they were ripping up and down the lake. Quite a bit of Horse Power on the lake again this morning. This place is rocking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for 93 Octane Premium and one for 112 Race fuel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking anything and everything. I have painted alongside the owner of the company, organized my deck containers & pressure tested hoses with the Tankerman, prepped my barge for an ABS inspection, fixed a Cat 2.2 generator with the chief engineer and picked up trash with the deckhands.
