Boating today

Anyone out boating today? I went out on my friends off shore race boat. Hittin speeds excess of 80. Pictures to follow

Our baja is still in storage. Lol weather sucks.

There were some FAST boats flying behind my house this past weekend a few different times.Guess they finally starting to come out

yea we were on the buffalo water front near the buff state research center

these were on Niagara river between G.I. and wheatfield

Ah I love the go fast boats.

Figures. My first summer with a boat the weather sucks and I spend 6 out of the last 7 weeks in Indiana.

If the weather’s nice tonight or this weekend I’ll be out.

I love offshore racers.

Ive never been on one :frowning:

They are amazing. I was on one in Miami last year and it was incredible. Its amazing how fast you can get going on the water esp if you hit a area where there is no waves. Made me want to be a drug runner to Cuba. Haha.

My cousin has a great one in San Diego with a twin turbo 596. No pics since its a custom but here’s a similar one from the same manufacturer.

it’s more amazing how much faster it feels than the same speed in a car

Ya. He let me drive and it blew my mind how fast stuff approaches you. When you are way out, you cant really notice it but if you shoot by fixed objects you really pickup how fast you are going.

Here is a cool video I found and you can see how fast these things get up to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBUFfqNA-5w

It’s even crazier when your about 12" off the water doing 105+mph. This is a friends boat up in Canada.

Anyway, I’ll probably be out on my buddy’s Jet Ski tomorrow late morning.

I was out there, awesome wind, hit speeds in excess of 7, only us hardcore had full dacron up…

See? only 2 of the 5 boats in this pic have both sails out, the wussies only have one…
