Just went through an area in SouthWest VA on I-81 mile marker 30 near Abbington, Tornado definitely touched down...debri everywhere..trees totally stripped down, houses destroyed, businesses gone...power lines still down...I cannot imagine this type of destruction and probably worse in Tusaloosa. Pictures don't describe this. The power of mother nature.

The first thought that I had though was if they had checked the math to see if it was ok to haul that many boats on the flatbed and then if those anchor points were safe. Don't want to loose a bu.
{sigh}

Getting ready then headed to church.
Have a nice relaxing non serious Sunday!
{except for the bu crew} {just kidding, don't be so serious}
I do have to thank RT for the bu pics because I now know why Tige's are better than Bu's - The Bu's are missing a fin.
{relax - {sigh} - it was a joke}
I am here all week. Catch me for the late show.

Nice day to take the boat out... But I have to take the wifey wine tasting.
Did get my amps all cleaned up finally since I rushed the install last season as summer went on and on.
My iPhone is taking worse pictures than it used to, I wonder if I can clean the backside of the camera lense on it?

Bu's have Monstrous Fins and only need two...didn't you know that.
Features on Top of Features: Malibu Gorilla Fins
The Malibu Boats mission statement begins with "Build the best boat..." and continues with "...for a fair price..." To fulfill this pledge Malibu builds innovation and technology into the boats as standard features. This is how they honor their commitment to excellence and to their family of owners. "The best boat for a fair price" pledge is fulfilled with standard features like the Gorilla Fins.
Tracking fins like Malibu’s Gorilla Fins have a huge impact on the boat’s handling. Standard on all v-drive Malibu boat models, these monstrous fins promote tight flat turns and rock-solid tracking even with a progressive-cutting rider in tow. Malibu engineers recognize the precise performance well-designed fins can add, even to an award-winning Sport-V hull. Industry experts notice the benefits of these exclusive Malibu fins too. The enhanced handling Gorilla Fins create has played a valuable role in securing seven consecutive Boat of the Year Awards for Malibu Boats.
Just like the addition of fins advanced the world of surfing; tracking fins, skegs or skags as they are sometimes referred to, can ensure the directional stability of a boat. Fins were originally added to surfboards to prevent the board from sliding sideways. The same is true with fins on a boat, but unlike a surfboard a water sports boat can slide or be pulled off course. When a rider in tow is cutting hard to the outside, the force that pull creates can actually move a boat without fins off its path. Similarly, when a boat is in a tight turn the force of the boat’s weight can cause fin-less models to roll or slide up onto their side making turns unwieldy and difficult to control. Well-designed tracking fins, like Gorilla Fins, will eliminate these types of complications.
Malibu engineers took their lead from the agile boards surfers use to shred waves, but they had to imaginatively apply this concept to a Malibu hull design. Malibu’s Gorilla Fins have a shape similar to surfboard fins, but on a Malibu they oversized specifically designed for balanced turns and rock-solid tracking. Gorilla Fins plunge deeper into the water than typical tracking fins and offer more than 120 square inches of surface area. Made of Manganese Bronze, Gorilla Fins are cast and then CNC machined for precise performance. Malibu Boats is the only water boat manufacturer to offer engineered fins as large as Gorilla Fins. Malibu Boats has earned every Boat of the Year Award given over the last seven years, thanks to advantages like superior handling.
