Yasuhiro's 2100 LD re-power

I wish we could get this guy to join up over here, a few of his pics have been posted over here before, thought I'd share this, in hopes of breaking 90 he's putting a 300xs on his 2100, I chatted with him about it on FB, he had this boat totally rebuilt, he owns a boat race team in Japan called Katana.

Looks like he really knows how to have fun.

john,

Brian runs similar headsets on his 283. I made fun of him until I used them. Nothing like being able to hold a conversation at 60 with no wind noise.

As far as the lifejackets I usually don't wear one. I think if I was in a pack that big, or hitting the speeds he does I probably would.
 
I posted the airborne pic for BOTM. It received a couple of negative comments. Hard to believe that would happen around here!! :shakehead:

Yea, the headsets are really badazz. I don't wear vest unless it's rough out, I'm showing off, or racing...... oh that's right, a poker run is not a race...... a poker run is not a race..... a poker run is not a race ;)
 
I LIKE THE RED ONE WITH THE THREE PORT HOLES.
MODEL ? TWINS?
MY NEXT CHECKMATE WILL HAVE TWINS AND I REALLY LIKE THAT STYLE.
COOL PICS :thumb:
 
I know the Japanese love to pose, but some of those pics look photo-shopped. I know they are not, they just have that look.
 
I asked this before, but no one replied...does anyone else thin the orange boat in the background of the airborne pilt looks like a C/M...perhaps a Flite? Just me?

Cool pics...thanks for posting John!

p.s. you're not pissed about the Thanksgiving comment are you? Hope not...
