Hotboat.com at the 2013 LOTO Shootout

[GotHalos]

Hotboat, your write up brought it all back. Great thread to read start to finish.

I am within earshot of the course and your coverage and pictures added to this local's experience. I am glad that you got to enjoy, not only the great boats, but the great hospitality here on the lake. All are welcome here.

Mark your calenders everyone. Week and weekend before Labor Day 2014.

Welcome to hotboat.com DaNinja!!!

I wish I could've tagged along on this trip, hoping to put it on my calendar for next year

We are hoping to bring that same vibe to the hotboat.com community

Loved the right up HB, I think the boat "Liquid Asset" impressed me as much as any, somehow i feel the reverberation when i see a pic of it. Bet there are ripples in the water coming off that boat!

What he said. Great job!!

I've run the Shootout four times. If anyone is considering doing it... just do it. Great event to be a part of.

Thanks for your perspective. That's the best coverage I've seen this year, period.

Great write up! Welcome to our little pond and what we feel is the Mecca of all Performance Boat Events!!! You chose a great 1st time to come. This being the 25th anniversary it was one to remember. Please come back next year. The also said 224 wont stand long, My Way was turned to 3000hp and is capable of 5000hp.....could be interesting...

Welcome to Hotboat.com. We are planning for next year right now I would love to be there when My Way tunes it up a bit. But congrats to My Way for the 224mph record

Thank you for the kind words, and welcome to our site. After I posted my little write up, I realized how much I'd forgotten to include. Our first night at Captain Ron's ended with our waiter telling us that even if he won the lottery, he would still work for Captain Ron. I didn't get to spend much time with Ron, but from what many people said, he's a great guy. Doesn't surprise me, everyone we met was extremely friendly. But it does sound like Ron has the patience of Job. I'm still in a bit of a spin from the last few days. It was a fantastic weekend that will not soon be forgotten. LOTO is now definitely on our annual must do event list. Right along side; Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving and The 4th of July
