I don't know if I would ever leave that dock, sweet set up for sure ! Great pics(y)
 
Alright let’s pick it up Where we left off and we got a long ways to go!

Dog Days is a bar and host bar for the shootout. Most the big boys were out on the poker run when we were there

American ethanol is a purpose built shootout boat.. four v8’s.. they are freight trained (connected) to make two v16’s pushing out over 5,000 hp a side

This boat regularly outs up 220+ in 3/4 of a mile.

My boat and Patrick’s side tied. The blue pontoon in my buddy Jody’s boat.. twin 450’s they put motecs and Kong performance kits on now over 650 hp a side on a pontoon. They are having some setup issues but still pulled 94 mph a few hrs ago

Around 2:00 dirty duck will run again they are currently in the top slot at 215 mph..

American ethanol is having technical problems.. and the other turbine mystic hasn’t come out yet.

My buddy Adam is the driver on dirty duck with rusty on the throttles and trim. They damn near blew it over on the earlier run.. (which the odds are not good that they survive that). They are adding weight to the front of the boat now to try and settle it down.
 
Team Gentry is one of my all time favorite boats.. it has lived life as a race boat and an endurance boat. When it was a race boat it had six fuel tanks, when it was a marathon it had 10 and carried 1500 gallons of fuel.

Triple staggered 1200 hp twin turbo motors.. the restoration on this boat was 1 million. IMG_2165.jpegIMG_2166.jpegIMG_2167.jpegIMG_2168.jpegIMG_2169.jpegIMG_2170.jpeg
 
X insurance has a fleet of shit out here and film guys and his personal helicopter running all day.. lol. I didn’t know there was that much money in insurance

My buddy just did a two year renovation on this MTI..

Welcome to big dicks halfway inn, home of the minnow shot.. and yes it’s as gross as it sounds. Lol

I’ll upload a video to the minnow shot when I get better service..

Now we get to the part that I am more involved in. This is Supercat Fest LOTO.. I put on Supercat fest West in Havasu.. they are basically an in water Boatshow where people exhibit their boats and party their asses off.. at the end their is a charity auction that typically raises 200-400k for kids charities.

I have a lot more socks as my disposal in Havasu than they have at the Camden, but both events are crazy fun with so much hardware it is indescribable.

Boats range from 60k-3+ million.
Boat people like to party and they don’t mind paying for the privilege. Entry level at West event is 1,000 for a dock for the weekend. At the Camden it would start at double that, and the rooms are 500 a night 4 night minimum.

The closer you get to the hotel the price goes up. It isn’t unusual for someone to whip out 4-5k jist to move three to four spots over.

In one particular case a guy donates over a 100k to the charity and pays to have this custom built dock brought in so he can land his helicopter next to his boat.
