I thought those Verados only burned like 3 cents woth of gas every two years ? :rollsmile

Screw that, take the whole month to make the trip, just boat on the run.

gotta love when Canada Thrust buzz 'em in the beginning of the video. See how close the other boat was??? lol

I got a Canada Thrust buzzing right as the run started. He was so close I couldn't get my camera to zoom out far enough for a pic--looked scary but sure did sound good!!!:rock

I wish all spectators of poker runs were that enthusiastic:rock

That FPC King of Clubs sure is a nice (Baja)OUTLAW:rollsmile

I call this one "ode to 'check your balls.."

if chris sunkin gets ahold of this thread, ill NEVER hear the end of it..

Someone like you that day. That trailer looks like you parked it there. Thank God that nothing worse happened.

I see the problem. Wire Ties do NOT work well in place of safety chain:1bounce:1bounce:1bounce

the last picture really says it all. I am the luckiest man on the planet:rock

if i were brandon, id kick rb hudlesons arse... its his fault....

You are one lucky SOB!!!!!!!

ya.. figured we'd set her down right there for a few minutes and give Big Bird a rest...:whiteflag

check out post 187. it was a little squirrelly at first. i'm glad scott donated us use of the freight liner.

If you had been in the 3/4 ton, you would have been screwed!!!!!!!

the scratches on the tongue are from the trailer whipping back and forth into the safety chains (before they gave up).. Notice the eyelet where the safety chains hook? Those were about 3" long right before it hit the ground. The entire trailer rode it out on those two little tabs.. the electric breakaway controller was between them and there wasnt a scratch on it! we just plugged the key back in and felt the brakes relax, lifted it back up, swapped hitches, devised a safety chain and hit the road.. (oh, and cleaned the $$$$ out of the seats and the redbull off the windshield!)

I remember Brad screaming "BIGDADDY IT CAME OFF!!! IT CAME OFF!!" I was like "what came off??" and then BANG, jerk, boom, scrape.. I looked in the rearview and all i could see was the nose of the boat aiming down (and smoke and sparks!). And with it being a cut downdeck, it LOOKED like it was on the pavement with NO trailer to be seen! I thought the axles ripped out of it coming across the bridge and the boat was slidin behind us.. Talk about a sick feeling in your stomach!

Are you sure?? Cause they held JEST fine til we hit Tupelo! :rollsmile

I wonder if Brad was on the phone to me or B at that time?

its funny now, but god you and everyone around you were so lucky... imgaine living with, that you hurt someone for a foolish mistake... not even like it came off, you had the wrong ball on there.... damn.. god was with you on that one buddy.. im glad we can laugh about it now....

now that i think about it, did masher have anything to do with this.. he is a double spy you know.....

It was Bubba because I remember looking up and telling Bubba oh f**k a state trooper just pulled up.

He was very cool about the whole thing. He never asked for my license, insurance or anything. he pulled up the road and blocked traffic for us and after we got the skater hooked back he knocked fists with Cale and left.

Dang ya'll found that video, I was hoping no one on here would find it because I felt like a big DA calling King of Clubs an outlaw. Outerlimits right?? I was on my 2nd 6 pack at the time:booze1:. I feel like a big duffes. Been a luker for a while, so please forgive me:bow.

Any who, yes Canadian Thrust came seriously close to that little bayliner. He was getting wedged between that and the channel marker. It was pretty scary:eek: But freaking awesome when he blew by. :rock

What happened to the other pictures?

The skid marks in your drawers must have been long too. I told you to not let delson cup your sack while driving.

Man- wow that could have been a whole difference outcome.

Good job holding it together!!!

King of Clubs is a Nor-Tech....

well it is about time you started posting:1bounce see it is easy so get at it and have fun,we sure did watching your video GREAT JOB:rock

Damn...way off again, I give up:whiteflag:rollsmile


Thanks, one day I'll have something. Until then I'll just take videos of everyone elses:rock
