a great big thanks to ken and laura collett and their generosity with the rides on the 38zr Miami vice boat it was a hit they truly are great Donzi people and the boat is awesome

Made it home safe too - awesome picnic. Scott et al......thanks for all the hard work. It is greatly appreciated.

My favorite part was ferrying all the picnic supplies to the island in Donzis....like using a thimble to fill a bath tub! Donzis aren't great work boats! Next year let's bribe one of the pontoon boat guys w/ a ride in the 38, we'll have everything out in one trip!

Hey, any excuse to burn gas in a Donzi works just fine!

Wonderful photos, so glad y'all rocked Lake George in style...

well it was a great weekend as usual up on the queen of american lakes
it started alittle rough for me as i got stuck at work with an emergency and we didn't hit the road til 5pm but hit no traffic and made it to treasure cove in time to see the utter and total destruction occuring on don's deck seems everyone was infected with jungle juice and they need to have jaeger bombs to clear the infection .

bob was the DD and I was amazed that he got Jim , now get the hornet finished

the common pego pego interpertation of " parking for room number 7 only"
is go ahead park here pearson won't mind at all

the D.E.C. is looking for a red boat with lead based chinese red number 5 paint

I'll trade you a 19 for a 21 and my shadow secret de-coder ring glad the prop worked better for you jay, you weren't getting the 21 back

good to see the old friends and meet some new ones

thanks to everyone who supported the club thru the 50/50 and the auction
I'll give you one guess who won the 50/50 ?????

bob loves to run his boat

ken and laura are great people and love to give rides

under the pucker factor" mattyboy taking the port side fuel cap of the miami vice boat and the owner saying watch out the chain is busted, ok so how deep is it here?? no thanks Ken you can put it back in I am not going to push my luck getting it out without swimming let's just call it a day

the food as usual was great from the shish ka bobs to the chicken to the staek and terriaki bacon cheddar burgers

only one of the 5 critters came back ?? was great to see Geri and Brendan and when they say they have a connection with a butcher they mean it
those porterhouses were the ones that tipped of fred flintstone's car thanks guys

Can't wait for the photo's Matty. Sorry I never really got a chance to chat much with you Matty. As usual I never pulled out the camera. Getting a ride in the 38 zr was great, but I gotta say my biggest thrill came when I went to go for a ride with Brian in that sweet blue 600 hp 22 and he tossed me the keys.

after seeing the 38zr fuel up i will never ever complain about the cost of fuel in the 16
here are a few more pics

[mattyboy]

here are a few on how a 38zr is hard on your hair notice jamie started with her hair up and look what happened

[Marlin 275]

How fast is the 38zr?
Did you go full speed?
Don't notice lake wake in that boat?

[jl1962]

I believe Ken said w/ the mufflers on for Lake George it would go a little over 80. W/out mufflers he has gone 90.

On the ride I went on, we went 80 at about 5k rpms if I remember. Lake chop? What Lake chop? Never felt any, but it was a relatively calm day, just some random power boat chop which the ZR didn't notice.

[mattyboy]

we hit 85 very low on fuel rode thru some big wakes and it absolutely crushed them even made a quick course adjustment at speed and it handled like it was on rails a truely awesome boat rode even better when he topped off both tanks

Holy crap, when did J grow up?? Is she still the go-kart queen??

[mattyboy]

no she wants the keys to the car now
