Checking fluids getting ready to run hard with Sonny!

The Boat Princess looking pretty!

Troy & Angela from Atlanta with a beautiful 25th anniversary 272 with a really bad $ $ $ custom built 502!

That is Matt and Ali on the far side with their new 245 with 496 HO. He is a major Tennessee Titan fan and the guy that introduced us to Albert & Tyreese.

The fastes cat there this year was also the fastest cat there last year. Only this year he is running over 135 MPH.

Man those DCB's really run flat on the water!

The now FAMOUS trade marked pose!

Don't try this pose on your boat, "Sonny is a PROFESSIONAL".

Well, here is a close up from a few weeks ago!

A really sharp looking "Profile".

These guys had a Pantera last year.

Agent Orange and the gang.

Albert

After our third card stop we took a two hour break to have lunch, get to know everyone better and enjoy some water activities.

A real treat was getting to try out Troy's Aqua Scooter. You can see it on the swim platform of his 272.

Here's Troy doing water donuts!

Come on Jeff, you ain't going to try it?

Well, this FAT boy was ready and willing when my time came.

You better have your swim trunks on tight, cause this baby really moves pretty fast, and you just might loose them!

Man this was a BLAST, I gotta get one of these.

I tried HARD to get Albert to give the Aqua Scooter a shot.

He was not even interested, I asked him if he could swim and he had us all rolling.

Albert's 42 Fountain is a really beautiful boat that he designed himself. His first boat was a Baja H2X and he got hooked fast.

He went directly to Reggie Fountain himself and they built this boat to fit his 6'6"tall, 320 pound body.

The gel is 100% totally grey with black flames. The floor of the boat is much lower than standard, and the seats were custom built so his knees would fit under the dash. When standing he is still head and shoulders above the windshield, but is very comfortable while sitting. It is a LONG step down from the sun pad to the top of the back seat. You had better watch your step!

The sound system is something he is very proud of and should be. It is by far the best I have ever heard. He has a total of four LCD screens that you cannot see well in the daylight, but he and his wife and two children like to take dinner cruises and he says they are really killer to view at night.

Rodney "Spittin Kitty" met him in Daytona at Stu's run week before last and Stu gave him the word o Jacksonville.

He is really pumped about coming to Jacksonville, and you can see this BIG Man and his custome Fountain first hand.

Brent, I know you will be wanting a new Fountain after seeing this one!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was over checking out our boat and I was checking out his. The seats are the widest I have seen, they are very low, and when I'm sitting all the way back I can barely reach the steering wheel!

Jeff,

I hope that is not one of those "Spank" drinks Albert was passing out!

Twin 525's

He was trying some 30 Pitch 5 blades for the first time.

That was a lot of fun. I don't think anyone wanted to pull up anchor, but time to get to our last card stop and head back to see if we had any winners.

The docks were already getting full when we returned.

The outof town guys were going to load up and we cruised on over to our slips and got the A/C running!

This older Formula had a great name.

"Panty Puller"

The gang less Albert & Tyreese.

The band was very good.

The Atlanta girls

They had three "Full Houses" early on and no one beat them!

Rafting off for the Party.

Albert had to get back to Tennessee and he got loaded up and ready to roll.

One SWEET rig

Waiting for our dinner reversations at the Galley.

If you ever make it to Hartwell, you owe it to yourself to eat at the Galley.

AWESOME FOOD!!!!!!!!!!

Well, we all got a good nights rest and Tommie had to feed the ducks and geese breakfast Sunday morning.

Went out and played a while and had lunch at Clemson.

Another

Until "Jacksonville", that is all folks!!!:cool:

Very nice pictures/boats!

Is Albert gonna register over at boatfreaks?!

Thanks for the pics guys. We had a blast and look forward to doing it again. I will pass the site on to Albert so that he can check out the shots as well. Thanks for letting us little boats play along.

Matt,

Great to see you again and to meet Ali. You have a very nice boat, even if it does have "Orange" on it!!!!!! LOL :D

Hope you had a safe trip back. Let me know what they find with the sensor, hope it is an easy fix.

Albert is a pretty cool guy. Sounds like he may need some crew down at Jacksonville. You should come down with them.

Look forward to making a run down the river with you guys.

Doc

I think that shirt might be Clemson orange.

What do you think?

Orange is Orange is Orange.

How about Razorback "RED" .

Better than Georgia Red.
