    Witnessed an Opti passing a XS yesterday on the chowan...........

    and the Driver of the XS couldnt handle all that power yet.....I flew by like he was sitting still and he tried to walk it down the river but couldnt do it....... Glad I dont have all that power......Great looking boat Mike C. and with some seat time you will learn how to fly im sure. Also was great seeing you Mike A. Man that Gambler looks better every time I see it.

    Also this is a funny note. I dont know if you noticed Trick but when you came by me up near holiday island I was pulling a boat back from bennetts. The two guys battery went out on them and they stopped me to ask for a tow back. Well an hour later I had them back to there ramp. The guys asked me "What do we owe you"......I took like 5 seconds and said "50 dollars should cover it...what do you think?" Both of them looked at each other and of course I jumped right in and said I was kidding and good luck fixing there boat. If you could have seen their faces when I told them that. I always feel that when you help someone like you will get something later in return. Hopefully Ill get an XS cheap.....

    I passed a Bullet at Hyco a few weeks ago. He come up behind me in a no wake zone. I held off a second and let him go first since I knew he would pass me anyways after we went under the bridge. He took off and pulled away. Made a hard left into a cove and stopped to fish, I passed him

    My Yamaha 200 had no problem passing Trick's XS this past Sunday. I saw myself catching up with him ahead of me, I cranked up the rpms on my motor and eventually over took him. That's with a full tank and tournament load... it took a little bit to get by him...but after I passed him, I kept him behind me...then I finally realized... he only had the trolling motor going....

    very nice boat Mike, wanted to go gawk at it but didn't have my sunglasses on, plus the crowd gathered around it would have made it tough to get a better look!

    Man, what did I miss? Anything good? Any good stabs, jabs, left hooks? Or was it bass boat porn with pics of your new ride?
