I didnt take nearly enough pictures this year. I was just too busy giving rides as much as I could, I hope I didnt miss anyone that wanted a ride.

There were so many pictures I didnt get, for instance I dont have any of the Anderson boy in the Super Spartan. He drove the sponsons off that boat all weekend long and we did lots of side by side running together which we really had a ball doing but I dont have a single picture of him with his boat this year.

The same goes for many of you folks that were there, I just didnt get enough pictures this year so, I am sorry if I missed you but here is a video set to music of the photos I did get.

This truly was a spectacular weekend and a extraordinary event. Words cant describe the way it made me feel seeing you all for a second time, meeting new folks and having my finished boat there this time. It was magical. Thank you all.

Hope you enjoy the video

Ok, I just got my very first YouTube account set up. I've never done this before. Naturally, my first videos will be of the G4. So let's see if this works.

In this first vid, Chris and I are running down the lake in Chris's Zip and Butch comes flying by like he owns the frickin lake or something.

Oh wait, with THAT boat, he pretty much DOES own the lake. :lol:

I got asked that question for the first time on the way home from the Gathering at a gas station. After a long, long, pause and puzzled look all he said was "no way". Then the normal banter ensued afterwards for another 5 min.

Dave, that video link is actually you in Dave Lott's boat not mine.

I would love to see the ones you took from my boat though if you did. Those were the ones where we were side by side with Colin in the Super Spartan, I loved that run.

OOOOPS! You're right. It wasn't your boat. But actually I was with Sam Witherington in his Malahini when I shot that.

I have photos and vids from our run with Colin Anderson. I'll post them up as soon as I sort through everything I've got.

In order to PROVE that everyone has built their own boats, folks are going to have to start carrying around their albums with the build photos.

When I pulled "A Girl Named LOLA" from Gulf Shores to B'ham, at a rest stop, I guy said "They don't make them like that anymore." I said, "Yes We do!"
