Yeah we were on our way to go watch that Poker Run when we found out about it. We were running a little late and I'm kinda glad because that would have been horrible to watch. That boat was always the one I looked for on Lake Texoma during the summer.

Well since you guys are discussing it give us a little more detail please. The boat and motor look nice from what I can see and like everyone else is telling you be careful.

Thanks guys. It's a 468 4bolt stock internals with a decent cam for now. Holley strip dominator and a 750 double pumper. It's just a cruiser for now. Don't have the $$ to get crazy with it right now. Twin turbos are in the future though. Will, I'm hoping to put the motor in pretty soon, maybe this weekend if I can find time.

He used to race in some ProStock events and he also had a 36' 2001 Eliminator that was absolutly amazing powered by two helicopter turbine engines. Here is a link to some pictures of his boat. The ones titled "Flash Gordon": http://www.pbase.com/ethanbird/lake_...poker_run_2004

On a poker run at Lake Texoma he was involved in a collision at high speeds and it completely destroyed his boat killing him, his wife, and their daugher and her husband. Link to story: http://cbs11tv.com/topstories/local_...245164748.html



Sorry for . I love Lake Texoma.
