540's One dyned 660 hp and the other 661hp. My deep X dimension and non stepped hull are holding it back and 2" Imco shorties are just not in the budget right now

Btw , nice meeting you at Jammin' on the James. Quite an enlightening conversation.

I guess that accounts for the slurred speach


It was a great run but 86 miles on a little puddle like Winni would require a few laps around the lake.

Exactly, Winnipesaukee is not an ideal environment for those kinds of runs. They are tons of fun, but belong on big water.

Very true.. but I am sure we can figure out something.. Hell they used to do races there..

And as for the speech impediment... Totally not my fault... I was fed strawberries hollowed out with some type of rum inside with whip cream on top.... After that everything got a bit fuzzy.. But was actually coming around by dinner time.. LOL....

I still think it was ironic that out of 500 people I sit next to the only other guy on winni.com

Crazy!!! next year we will have to plan to meet up at the captains meeting... I can also give you some inside scoops on where to stay for pre and after partys.

Take care.

Just a heads up (as well for any other GFB enthusiasts) they just set the date for next years Jammin on the James, July 10th.. I hope they don't plan the easter seals poker run the same day this time...

Best run I have ever been on. I am sure Cal can attest to that. Anyone need details let me know!

Just a few examples.. Can you imagine the $$$ that would flood into the lakes region if we could hold a run like this? Just a thought!
