Always doing the recruiting, I met a guy named Kevin yesterday that lives down the street from a buddy of mine. He's got an ex-ski race boat that he's putting the finishing touches on after a year of sitting and plans to go to Havasu this weekend.

I also told him about the Parker/OP6 thing and he said he'd come down on Saturday.

His name is Kevin, and while the boat looked like a Schadia to me, he said it was something else (yeah, I forgot already). Anyway, it pales in comparison to the mountain motor sticking out of it. The boat is white and purple (great colors, hey Greg?) and it's got a 509 cube big block with an 8-71 blower and dual carbs. Dual 45 gallon tanks feed that puppy and he says it runs right at 100mph! Should be a screamer.

I told him about the club and he said he'd look it up on the web and is interested in coming out to the campout on the 4th of July.

The more the merrier!

Got another one I think. Another Kevin! Kevin from R&R Prop Shop. I went down today and we chatted for about 3 hours about boats/props, etc. It seems he's another outboard speed freak.

He's got a Hydrostream HST, which is similar to my boat, with a 2.5 Mercury (the newer version of my motor). He's got tons of props to try, and gave me two to test out for this weekend.

A really cool guy. I told him about the website, the campout on the 4th and the photoshoot for Hotboat on the 3-Aug. I think he's thinking about them both!

Keith, yeah Kevin is the man if you need a prop. After you find the one you want have him blueprint it for you to squeeze another 200 RPM out of it.
