Only the old Predator was there. Vern at West Coast Drives brought the boat with Brummett turbo 1700s, and they ran 169,176mph with Gary driving and trottling. Last time I asked Gary he said he might take the newer Predator to the Destin PR, but idk? I haven't talked to him in a few weeks.

Nice coverage, before we moved to Florida I boated for 30 years and we lived full time at LOTO for eight at the 23MM of the Osage and have gone to every Shootout there's been, anyway, people kept asking us isn't it going to be rougher in the ocean, apparently not everyone hasn't been on LOTO on a Saturday afternoon in the main channel in the Summer, the 3-4 rollers we have down here on occasion are nothing at all compared to the washtub of the LOTO, it's unbelievable and you wouldn't believe unless you're seen it or boated in it.
This is a piece of cake boating in the Gulf.

I enjoyed it, but I was dying to at the same time lol. All those beautiful boats and I was stuck high and dry. Before I tip over, I will run a boat on LOTO. Not sure how I'm gonna do it, but I will. I heard a couple stories of people from out of State who fly in, buy a boat, run the poker run, then sell the boat when they leave. How bad ass is that

Yea, I hear ya. Can get like that on Havasu also, although you have cabin cruisers and such at LOTO. "Confused water" is more difficult to run in compared to waves going the same direction.

The biggest cruiser on the lake just showed up a few weeks ago, a 68' Sunseeker Predator, here it is coming in, get behind this suckers wake and see what your boat will.
