I'm barely have the time to post here. I'm in the room at 4 pm.  Shower, nap, eat dinner than off to River Dave's house to party.

I found out I'm not a raft up kind of guy. We did it but it's not my thing. Broke away after the fast boats went buy and hung out in Steamboat Cove for a couple of hours then hit the channel for an hour or so.

I tried to upload more pics but get a security message. Twice. I'll try again.

I'm going to admit to my ignorance, but the outboards are 400 horsepower Honda's, is that correct?
Does Honda even make a 400 Horsepower engine for their car?

All Mercury. Custom paint to match the boat. I talked to the Merc guy at the street party and he said they are working on a 450 and eventually a 500 hp. As of now Seven Marine makes a 627 hp outboard.

OK, so I can't read.
After looking at the picture again, I see what I thought was HONDA below the 400R looks more like HDRZ-- or something like that. 
I still have no idea what that stands for, but then I'm not an outboard person.

I assume you don't buy those at a WALMART.

If you are referring to the orange and white MTI center console V hull, those three motors are the Seven Marine 627 hp models.

They cancelled the shoot out due to high wind. Gusts to 40. Try to run Sunday. We trailered down to Parker and it was very windy there. Put in at Pirates Den and went up river to the dam. On the way back stopped at Sundance and had drinks and food. Supposed to be a storm late tonight. Baja is on the trailer and covered.
We are cleaning up and then hit Havasu Pizza for dinner before going to RD's party. More later.

First pic is a sound machine on wheels. Awesome lights and sound. $2500 for 4 hours. Free for RD.
Second is the 3 amigos.
3 and 4 is Sundance on the River with a band. Place was jumpin!!!!!

 

[TexasJet]

Sunday, breezy and cool. In the 60's no doubt. Not sure if we are boating today.

RD's party was great. Started at 9 and we left about 1. Those folks party hard!!! 500 party animals were there.

I think they are doing the shoot out this morning. A lot of the boats are headed home so attendance will be down.

Hey, I'm sure this trip must have been difficult, but someone had to do it, RIGHT?

 

[TexasJet]

Shoot out cancelled due to wind. It was in the low 60's this morning and windy. We decided to go back to Phoenix a day early.
Back at Kim's house now. Tomorrow, clean the boat. More pics tomorrow. I'm tired. I don't know how those Havasu people survive all this boating and partying.
