Some non boats that joined the party.

This seaplane was about 100 feet over us if that

[Zone 5]

A Mach 2.5 F-15 came to play too. I missed the picture of him flying over us, But I got a bunch of them at the Jax airport.

[Zone 5]

and, as Jax NAS is right at the bridge, a few of their birds.

[Zone 5]

That's Ambusher's boat and I believe Mikes280's engines! :rock

Some video of a really nice 32' Skater. I believe he said it ran ~ 140. Really nice boat and owner.

Besides fast boats, there were a couple of very nice very fast cars there, for those of us old enough to remember when these guys were kicking azz!

What's the info on this boat? Power, Hull, Drives, Speed?

The Loud, Big kind (I want to say 1300s. It was wearing 3 liter whipples on top) 43' Doug Wright. Pretty certain it runs a rudder and shaft drives (cant remember if its an Arneson or BPM rig??), and its fast:deadhorse

I read it saw 180.

We were standing next to Purgatory when they fired off the engines before the run. My friends had no clue what all this boat stuff is all about or why I like it so much.

After that they had a pretty good idea....To quote one of them; "That boat made my ears ring, holy crap its loud." :ev1l danc
