somebody didnt like the captain last week, so im done joking on here. im tired of beating boats same size as mine with 3 litres and v8s. im getting ready put a 3 litre on it and see if i can make it chine. might even put 2 rows of seats in the back because the more fools i put in the back, faster it goes. hey einstein, let me put the 3.4 on it and i wont need but 3 in the back. my transom would hold an outboard v8 car motor. yea were fools, but we know how set our boats up, because we pushum and try bustum in our bay:brickwall:

im alright now

took me 3 hours to get over the adrenalin sickness after the 5 gallon 5 minute flight i got after work today. my 2 friends/ 1st timers who went with me said their cheeks hurt and finally called to thank me for the ride in my smilemaker 1, when they could talk again. i got a little knee shake at 7krpm so i let off it due to the wind gusting to 30 at the mouth of onancock creek this afternoon. still had 8 to go but no back seat in yet, first ride of the year. didnt want blow my 75 up yet. tomorrow a new day, and theyre beggin go again. made it through the winter without getting sick till this evening. thats how us safety 1st fools get our stress relief. tomorrow will be dedicated to sm2 and i hope winds blowing sunday:cheers:

god bless einstein

i owe my last 7 years of happiness to my best friend i met from another best friend after i blew a 90 on my fishing boat. he introduced me to super dave aka einstein who told me i need a v6. he built me one and it changed my life and i aint caught a fish since. he also found my 2 smilemakers for dirt cheap which leaves me $ for gas. but in his 15 acre graveyard of merk motors sits some old school boats that are waiting for the captain. its not all about speed that feuls us fools. all i want in life is 70mph in a 6 foot chop:thumb: thanks einstein, got no fish in the freezer

buy you a new motor

i dont have to spend 15k on a new boat motor. i can spend 3 grand on a grenade that puts out a sound that only merkman can hone out of of one and i get a lifetime warranty. daves a powerhead genious, and only acts of nature and bad luck have burned my motors up. i have got 4 yrs of abuse that my year around hours put on his motors, and its my lack of, or:cheers:that has caused me to burn 4 per year, or maybe its that smile:)

i love racing cars on the chinco bridge, just like i used to race them on the railroad tracks with my dirtbike running parallel, and my yz 80 would run 75 back in 1979. this year were racing helicopters, cause i wont see no blue light. do you look out the back of your boat when your turning 72k? last year the coast guard asked me why i didnt see the blue lights and i told them i was watching where i was going. didnt want hit a daymarker or risk slamming into another boat. had my tunnel on the trailer in the ramp time they got there. then they checked my cooler for undersized fish, and i didnt have a fishing rod.;)

i'm here there big boy!!!!!!:devil:wana play?????:brickwall::banana::popcorn:
 
didnt see you mr vmrc

every quarter mile ide let them catch up, but as a safety oriented captain, i kept my eyes straight ahead, didnt want hit a crabpot.. time the helicopter arrived, my sm was under the cabin dock, hahaha. surprised i didnt get a warrant days later like i did in my car early 80s. they better get a fast helicopter this year:rof:
 
like i said

it aint all about speed, but when i get my ultimate goal of 70mph in total white out conditions of a 6-8 foot chop in my 28 superboat im building the garage for, aint going be no aircraft flying that day i get my smile, except mine.:lol:

he says cant say

every time i ask him what hes doing, yet i walk through an accumilation of metal shavings in the shop floor. my cheeks hurt in the antisipation of him letting me fly the next smilemaker, that i dont know about yet. the 15 hydrostream dont worry me, its what hes going put on that baby tunnel that has my adrenalin pumping. ill bet my life that if either of you know a chiropractor who can do a cheek adjustment:yell:
 
your you all need take a vacation down here. atleast come in and take a shower after the first week staying at the free rent of our cabin and hospility, after the humiliating whipping by a 75 hahahahahahaha
