That last photo made it seem like there was a glimmer of hope for the hood. I would be thankful that my boat landed upright with the price being a sunk cowl! Freaky!!

Don't confuse ignorance of the laws of physics with crazy i

wonder why these photos never showed up on S&F? lol

Checking in to update everyone and give you a link to the 'Peconic bay Ironman 2013' where S&F GM250 went airborne.

I set up this run on short notice but we had a good turnout and it most likely will be an annual run going forward. Possibly earlier by a week or two for better conditions.

The link gives you the full story with pictures and 4 video's .....so enjoy! We did post all the pictures of the mishap luckily captured on camera.

This is a great area to run, it is large and has all water types to tackle. Gm ran into the roughest waters just past a break area that leads out to Montauk (Ocean) without carefully watching and ran into a 4'-5' wave full speed. gm (Greg) was lucky with recovery but unfortunately lost the Yami cowling to the bottom as it sank faster then he could get to it.

I am running James' 21' challenger with reduced setback (16") here which helped it run these 1'-3' waters more handily. I can say it has held its own with even a 300x 21' superboat never passing me. I still ran 88 with my 2002-3 250 EFI Vmax with 20-25 gal gas.

Thanks for the update and links Keith !

Seeing what James put into that rebuild, the above doesn't surprise me. That thing was built and modded to run hard, and it obviously does. Probably one of the coolest supers out there.

You are very welcome James.

Too bad are groups are not closer to do a joint run, it would be a blast since we all like to run hard having FUN.

The person that bought my Activator has put a Frankenstein 300x on it and it looks like I could be running against him soon on the end of year Connecticut River Run a few weeks from now.

Ok boys what the pictures dont show is the fact the boat landed on the motor cover past vertical,dont think there was much left of the cover even if he had recovered it.Greg has learned a lesson the hard way.Just remember friends always wear your safty gear even a seasoned vet can get caught.
