I want to thank everybody that helped me get my Swamp Buggy going. It was a good time. I was really interested in the wide variety of boat designs. I was even more impressed with how far some of you folks travelled and how helpful everyone was.

hey new guy, have u tried to check the airboat forum?..bunch of info there..

That airboat was beautifully finished. I was hoping that another airboater from Gobles was going to show up as he has a lot of experience with them.
I know that there were more camers there, let's see what shots that you got!
I tried to keep from doing anything stupid this year as I knew that if I did, Mark would have been right there with his camera.

And such a nice camera too!!! Came home with over 300 pics to chose from. Need to weed out the bad ones. I'll get something posted soon..


A great time was had again this year. It had to have been the biggest crowd so far with a varied range of boats.

Kristi and I stayed in Holland Mon & Tue.. Tell ya what, Lake Michigan is cold this time of year!! :)

Glad to be back where gas is under $3 a gallon!!!!!!!

Thanks Mark for the pix so far. That new camera of yours does a nice job but I have to give credit to the photographer also.
Going through them it reminded me that I thought that I had more shots than what I downloaded off mine as I knew that I took a lot of shots of WW's "Space Shuttle" OB tunnel boat.
The one that you got of the SV 27 N with the hatch on is now my wallpaper, really cool shot!

Ron, more pics will be uploaded in short time... Glad ya like the shots. Bet that is one nice looking wallpaper!

RE: Kalamazoo Fun Run 5.0 preview
 
It worked out well as the boat is on the right and my icons on the left so there isn't any of those over the top of the boat.
I'll keep checking in on RC Flix for updates. You ought to be passing Steve soon for being the top poster in there! :D

That shot ofr Walt's Seadunker, er, Subducer, er, Seaducer shows what nice shots that new camera takes. Look at the roostertail and you can see where every blade hits the water.
BTW, the shot that you show of the other black and blue 'ducer isn't mine but I think Chuck Giesen's. I wouldn't mind owning it though as that baby scooted!

Chris, you knew that was coming!!!!!! :D :D :D :D PM me your snail addy for a CD of the pics taken.

Ron,

I was happy to see that shot of the yellow seaducer.. It truely shows what this camera is capable of taking. I'll have to redo that one pics description then. Hope to put more pics up shortly.

Thanks mark! you the MAN!

that was so much fun running boats ALLLLLLLLLLL DAY!!!!!! When you work most all the time like me (not complaining, it's how I afford my lifestyle) it's really a treat to get to hang out all day and not worry about nothing. Sure glad I got some time out with the John Deere Boat. Wow is it fast. I was able to run it once where I work sence then and our dam pond is almost to small!

The prather 270 seems to work fine in lou if the 6717......But it's still not the same [&o] She was once a fine prop...............now some lucky arse diver is gonna get her! [:@]
