Re: Hello
That reminds me of a story about me and ol bubba.
_____________________________________________
Before I start..this is fictional and for ammusement only.
For those of you who do not know, Spinner is a Mod and a speed freak.
For years he has been searching for the almost unobtainable, a boat that will do 70mph+.
As some of you know, I bought myself a new boat, with a 225hp Mercury ProMax on it. <---I have been getting tips on how to modify this set up to pass 70mph for I was stuck at 68mph.
Well once this was done, I then planned a fishing trip with Bubba, whom I had met here on the forum. Bubba had not been informed about the new boat.
I set off early on my fishing trip to get their early enough to obtain the "Fastest boat on the lake title" before Bubba got there.
Anyhow....I was out and about looking for victims to race for a couple hours..and doing quite well for myself. I had gone 5 for 5 and was still licking my chops and wondering why Chrysler ever made a 55hp.
I slow as I enters the NOWAKE zone and notices a 12ft aluminum with a 6hp Johnson on it.
That has to be Bubba.
I wave at Bubba who is anchored while he casts.
Bubba nods back.
The signal..thats the signal to race, I can't believe he is challenging me. I am getting really excited. Finally a challenge,
Why is this a challenge you ask?
Bubba has been known to run his engine at a Higher Rpm than the engine is rated for, increasing the speed.
I pull up a little closer reving my engine up and down. Bubba calls out "Howdy Ace", but over the reving of Spinners engine,it sounded like "fancy a race".
He is taunting me, runs through my mind. Maybe I should give him a sample of how this baby performs.
No sooner has this thought entered my mind, I crank the wheel and gun the throttle.
10,20,30,40 Mph...He glances over to the shore and sees people waving at him.
I wave back and smiles to himself with glee, I mumble to himself, wait till they see me hit 70+mph.
I look over my shoulder to see how far back Bubba is and whether or not he is still rocking back and forth from my wake.
To my surprise Bubba is hot on his tail.
My jaw drops. That ^%$^% JB must have souped up Bubba's 6hp. I mutter to himself.
Lets see how far behind he is once I hit 70mph.
The throttle gets pushed the rest of the way to WOT 50,60,72mph. Muwahahahahahaahhaah can be heard as Spinner is zipping down the lake.
Spinner again looks over his shoulder..gack...72mph and he is still there. Wow..that JB must know his stuff.
All of the sudden a loud CRUNCH is heard.
Spinners boat comes to a quick halt. I must have hit something he says, while looking over the side of the boat. Hmmm...no rocks. He tilts up his engine and finds a rope entangled around his prop.
Meanwhile Bubba pulls up along side of Spinner and says.
