POST your THREE favorite boats, in order and WHY they are your fave...

[2manymustangs]

Not intended to "dis" anyone's boat or rank it less than another... BUT tell WHY they are your fave, make/model/specific race boat/your family boat/sentimental ties to a boat... There are so sos ososososo many cool boats I have been around over the years at the races/events/factories... Pontoon, kayak, whatever floats your boat...


#1 Wayne's coldfire... A) I like Wayne and his lovely wife, the boat/the tribute to the former boat/builders, the painter of the Ghost, and most importantly watching Davey thrash it to the ragged edge of blowing its stack (which it never does/did that I'm aware of)... Davey, I still think about you when I think "boat racing", R.I.P.... This boat hauls ass, Wayne drives it like a bat out of hell... It's an all time #1 fave for a variety of reasons... Davey B had his hands full that day running up against Tony in the K69...

THE original Body Snatchers, my favorite hull style/design, performance in BIG wake, speed... THe boat had ALOT of history and I wanted it so bad... I was ready to sell all of my toys to get this thing from Ted... It was like 2009 when it came up for sale and the economy was in the toilet bigtime, I had to keep my cards close to my chest... Rank Daddy Dave drove it alot, saw some INCREDIBLE GN action between the GN 24 and Ben's Plan B and Devines GN47 and Bob's GN7 and many others... It was / is a real fave... IF I had a giant pile of cash, I would buy her from Dirk and put it back the way I remember her, as a tribute to some really fine folks in her former life of racing (Ted/Joey/Dave/Etc)...

Yep, K69... I have watched this boat get flipped, dipped, skipped, ripped over the years and never thought I would see it come as far as it has... You have to tip your hat to Gordo/Dave/Tony and all the others that have shoe'd that tub...

Hard runs at the K kilo record, championships in the KRR class...

Such a fantastic partnership to watch Dave/Gordy throwing down on this thing and turning it around from the little boat that COULDN't to the terror of the course...
