Why does my boat look so small in this lift?

[Moki]

I'm with billy-doyle on the owner of the boat next to you. It says: LOOK AT ME!!! LOOK AT ME!!! LOOK AT ME!!! (and in the subtext is says, don't notice this...don't notice this...don't notice this)

Your Tige says, I like my family & friends so much, I'll let them have more fun behind the boat whilst I drive, vs the Fountian guy saying' HANG ON!! I'm DRIVING!!

BUT, that is what makes America great--Reggie Fountian has absolutely figured out how to get into the minds of 'that guy'.

And finally, I'd like a ride in that beast.

Ha ha ha, that is great! I will never forget this post when I see another boat like this.

Challenge them to a 1/4 mile race

hell yeah, it probably wouldn't even plane in that distance

wheres the tower on that beast

Is having a boat that large and ostentatious any different from the people who jack up their pickups or Humvees 15 feet off the ground with 50" wheels to tow their two jet-skis to the lake? Talk about look at me

No the real reason is because it’s a 20v, time to upgrade to a RZ4

Nothing wrong with owning a boat like that if you could comfortably afford it. I WISH I could!

Something is VERY, VERY wrong with grown men spending good money to put a freaking cartoon character on their boat though. Seriously!? You've grown up and can buy a boat like that and you still think "Taz" is who you want to identify with??? Dumb.

Wow! Do you guys own it? Friends? Does it go faster than 88 or is that just what your wife was comfortable with?

It will do a little faster than that, but the Shootout race is a mile long course. The boat is owned by Cutting Edge Marine. Their flagship boat is the Saratoga Stampede, it is a 40' closed canopy with twin 1075's. It ran 136 MPH in this years Shootout.

Was this one there this year (36' Eliminator)? This guy Steve that I know used to own it and I believe it did 147 at the shootout 2 years ago maybe? He took it up to Horsetooth one day and fired up both engines and the rangers were like "Uh, no, you need to turn one off and it's 40 mph here and we WILL BE WATCHING!". LOL! You could hear that boat the entire length of the lake!

I was sitting at the Horney Toad on Lake of the Ozarks a few years ago as a bunch of those "go fasts" were doing some trial runs for a poker run.

1: they are freaking loud! Like miles away and still ear ringing loud!
2: a lot of the drivers have mullets, and cut off jeans..with rolled up cuffs.
3: a lot of these drivers have very hot trophy wives.
4: they are a ton of fun to ride in. Been 130+ myself. I had to change my shorts after though.
5: I'm glad table rock doesn't have long enough runs to allow for those boats.
6: that's not nearly the ugliest one I've seen

Where is that dock at?

For some reason that boat is starting to look familiar....

[AdaminMN]

There's a couple of those on the river here in MN, a bit smaller though. When they rocket by we always say to eachother, "I wonder what they're talking about?". All you can usually hear is the three 502's roaring.

Still it's gotta be a trip to ride in something like that.

It is odd that they only do 130. I would think in something like that the potential would be much higher. And to hear that the Taz can do about 90... that seems pitiful for the look of the boat and what it costs. I get the whole speed on the water thing, but seriously... I spent 21,000 and went 130 in my WRX.
