Took it out for the maiden voyage. Sure gets the heads turning. 3,800rpm this thing sounds so good. But quiet at idle. I like it.

At a private launch, putting it in the water, got an older gentleman come and talk to me, on the water had people trying to race me and get up to me. And taking it out of the water I had a guy walk from his cottage and had to pick my brain about it.

Hard to beat the sound of a nice running big block.
Nice boat

Lakes a little green now with the heat and calm weekend.

Had a really good day though. Fishing was crap but wasn’t too concerned about fishing. I will admit though, big boat like my new one isn’t the best for fishing. A little tinny would be key.

For the August long weekend, we are having the 8th Annual Herb Setz Sr Memorial Poker Rally on Saturday, August 4, 2018 to accommodate the races and rallies. Like in years past, there are plenty of free camping spots for everyone for the entire long weekend at Strong Creek Park

Date: August 4, 2018
Location: Peace River
Departing from: Lower West Peace Launch
Departing Time: 12 noon
Finishing at: Strong Creek Park
Total length: 60 miles
Poker hands will be 20$ each
Prizes: Top 3 hands will split 50% of the proceeds and the other 50% will be donated to the Peace River SPCA


As always volunteers and prize donations are always accepted and appreciated! Contact Joan at 780-618-1821

Same as previous years, we will head down river to Herbs cabin and then back up. Our final checkpoint and card stop #5 will be Strong Creek Park. Camping at Strong Creek is free for the event! Strong Creek Park is located 8 km south of the Town of Peace River, Alberta on Shaftesbury Trail (Highway 684). The rally is open to non boaters and campers alike with hands and supper tickets available for purchase after the rally at Strong Creek. Come on out and enjoy a great day on the river or a great evening with friends! Tons of cash and prizes to be won!

Everyone had a blast last year and every hand left with a prize! So let's do it again! Hope to see you all on the river for a great cause and of course a lot of fun!

Saw an air chair out on Moyie this morning too. Didn't know anyone was still riding them these days. :)

My wife says I’m to old, started a few years ago after a friend bought one from another friend...he has a sweet Sky Ski and does multiple back flips. I tried intentional flips at the end of last season and ended up having to go for an MRI on my shoulder. Wife says no more flip attempts...we will see...
