Hotboat.com at the 2013 LOTO Shootout

Back to the West for a minute. This Nordic (Lake Havasu City, Az. ) was hauling the mail. Very nice boat.Attachment 15825

Great pictures. I would like to say welcome to www.hotboat.com to all our new members. I can't wait until next year so I can go. Should we a rent a big house with docks so we can have a www.hotboat.com meet and greet BBQ (aka Party) or stick with hotels? Input please

One of the things I failed to mention is I understand there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 200/bars/restaurants scattered all over this lake. I also understand there is in the neighborhood of 30,000 boats registered to people who live or vacation on this lake. I also failed to mention some of the homes that we saw, just around the MM we stuck around in, were amazing. Some were more along the lines of mansions really. I loved the fact that nearly every home we saw had it own dock(s) and many had lifts. You guys have it real rough out there :D Attachment 15826

Glad you had a good time and come back anytime.... Jim

There are quite a few nice places to rent and some of them have decent sized docks to have a party on them. If it were me coming to the lake for the first time I'd definitely check into some of the following places:

Camden on the Lake 7mm: http://www.camdenonthelake.com/?gcli...FRPl7AodD3YAug

VBRO Vacation Rentals: http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals...-of-the-ozarks

Tan-Tara Resorts (it's a little older place but the Canadian's said it's a blast, they have both the hotel and rental condo/cabins) http://www.tan-tar-a.com/

We head to the lake almost every weekend from Omaha (5 1/2 hours one-way), for the Shootout weekend we come down on Wednesday to make a long weekend and catch all of the festivities... Jim

We had tried running a bigger pitched prop then last year and with the added heat and humidity the engine loaded up and didn't wanna pull past 6500rpm. We had the 34 prop we ran last year and I was gonna pull some fuel out with the laptop but we had luckily still managed to get high mph even with the 117 so I didn't go for another run! I'm gonna start testing the big 36 prop soon and make sure we get it right for next year!

Also definitely keep mee posted if u guys come down in november and we will get together, you guys have my #.

Cool shot:action-smiley-035:

I'll call this a Plane Boat :D It's technically a float plane, but Plane Boat sounds better. Attachment 15848

One of my favorite shots. What do you think??
