Little watering hole? lol. I talked to some of the locals who said they don't go past MMXX because they're afraid to get lost. Haha...little watering hole. Welcome to www.hotboat.com :D

Attachment 15787I would have loved to get a ride in this "little" hot rod Donzi (Washington, NC) . Little as compared to some of the giants it was parked near. My best guess on power is 800HP :shock:

This was the first time I have been to LOTO.Let me tell you that of all the years that I have been "boating" that there is no comparison. I am extremely grateful that my friend Kap asked me to be his wingman the for this amazing event. It is a week I will never forget, he taught me more about boating at a whole new leveln and I thank him. I also had the opportunity to meet and spend some time with Mr and Mrs Hotboat. Whether it was just chilling having a cold drink or blasting across the water in Kaps 32 DW, it was great to be with them both. Hope to see you all again in the near future. And I do agree that Capt Rons pizza is pretty damn good! Lol

I hope you guys made it home finally. What a blast!! Great meeting you and thanks again for your help shuttling us wherever we wanted to go. Let me know when you're ready to do Parker and we'll hook up and do a little boating. Glad to see you here too!

Hey Guys, sorry I missed you out there, wanted to take you guys for a ride! 1 Bad thing about Loto is cellphone service is bigtime sketchy so communicating is a lil tuff. Glad you guys finally made it out there though and checked out the shootout, definitely probably the premier event for some of the baddest boats in the US. We gotta get together next year for sure and we can all start planning from now!!

Regards,
Brendan

Bummed we missed you guys for sure. But we'll be back. We'll also be kinda close to you in early November. Orlando for 7 days or so. Maybe we can come by then. Your boat looked good. I have more pics I'll post up soon.

Good to see you here buddy. What did you end up running? I thought I read on IG you were a little over propped?
Congrats on winning your class BTW! :)

Couple more of your boat/run. I apologize for the grainy look. I was on the top of the Celebration when these were taken. Hopefully next year I can hang out on radar hill with the big boys :D Attachment 15795 Attachment 15796
