... all I can say is "Wow!!!"... had a fantatic time.
Special thanks to Atomcktn (how do you spell that screen name??? :D) for all the "hospitality" at the Dana booth. Windy too... what a pleasure to finally meet you in person. :D
Havasu Doug, thanks for hauling my out of town ass around... and thanks for the tour of East LA... :)
Danny, thanks for a the details on those beautifull wood boats... I hope you sell as many as you can make.
Froggy... pleasure to finally meet you as well... even if I am a lot younger than you thought... :D I can't wait to see the Trident in person.
To the Sportin' Woods... I hear that Hallett will put woodgrain on a boat if you want. :D The puppy and I made it home just fine. Long trip though, she's crashed out next to me here at the computer.
The Racer's, Big Jim at Ultra (awesome boat by the way), Notalent, Forensic, the Bobaloo's, and the Flyin' V's... and all the girls of ***boat... and Shueman and Superduty from HD's board... it was a pleasure to meet everyone.
The Bordsmanj's... nice to see you finally found each other. Anyone seen my lighter??? :D
I would say "hi!!" to Knucklehead... but I understand he's not here anymore. :rolleyes: :D
Oh, and Jordy, I'll be waiting for the photo-chop... :D
And finally, to all the people I've met previously, it was fantastic to see everyone again. :D

Where to start....
First off... Sleek-Jet is about half the age I figured he was. Well done bro... Strange how a perception built by years of non-visual communication can weigh into an image created... It was great to meet you and Havasu Doug, and wish we could have hung around with you a little bit more but we were on a mission...
HD, again, great to meet you finally, or again... whatever!
Windy, as always you were awesome to see and gave the best hugs of the show. It was great meeting Bobby (Atomiktn) for the first time as well. The Dana's looked great, and you guys are really stepping it up every year. Well done! It was also great to finally meet NoTalent and Redneck. No white glasses to be seen anywhere...
Seen in beer/drink line... HH, INSman, Bling, Kroozin, and the Koolaid Krew. Dave certainly knows where to put a booth.
Keith is still my favorite boat salesman around. Honest, forthcoming and knowledgable. I always spend more time in the Conquest booth than anywhere else at the show, and I always feel bad because we talk about the Trident alot. The Top Cat that was in the booth with the Ilmor was truly beautiful. Lots of great ideas and very nice rigging.
From there, I met a couple of folks that I couldn't place their screen names, but you know who you are. Wonderful talking to people who are so into boating and family.
Mark (Whipped Caliber), RD, Steve, Martin etc... good to see all of you folks as well. Mark did a great job on Ultra's booth, and should be really proud of it.
Danny, the wooden boats looked flat out amazing. You did such a great job with them I am nothing but jealous.
I am sure I am forgetting some folks, and for that I appologize. Thanks to everyone who gave us great words of encouragement. We will be there next year for sure. Of course, I said that last year.

Hey...!! That problem has been solved... :crossx: Great meeting you Wes. I was hoping you would bring the boat, but I guess you didn't want to hurt the other deckboat's feeling's.... :crossx:

Of course, I said that last year.
Did you say that the year before too??? Sorry Wes, just couldn't pass an opportunity like that one up. :D :D :D

By far I had the best time at the show {thanks Hunny}...it was great seeing everyone and making new friends.
Thanks Wes...miss you!

No chopping. Be nice.
It's genetically impossible for him to be nice, he was wired incorrectly at birth and keeps ignoring the factory recall!
Good to see you and Sean, sorry i was little hung over!

You could literally see the light go on over your head when you figured out who I was on the board... :D :D
Again, it was nice to meet you Wes...
