After I sold my race boat about 3 years ago, I pretty much stopped going to races and started putting miles on my XB02. We

Be cool to know how many miles you have on that boat. It's a ton. Still have the 280 on it?

Yep the 280 is still on it and with a little tweaking on the ACU it’s by far the smoothest running motor I’ve ever had, it’s never skipped a beat! Once our new house is built and my garage is set up I plan on pulling it down and putting new pistons in it. I’ve also sold Amanda on a new console, so it will soon be center steer. She’s actually been pushing me to race it some. I had a room and was ready to go for Mt Pleasant but work got in the way.

I wish some of y'all from Houston would come back out. You, Denny, Jason, Trae, Mike, and Acie have some nice, fast boats. Y'all could make a good Lake Racer class by yourselves. Lol

Jason's boat is ready, he just has been busy. Since Dennis got a new boat i'm sure he'll be back. Trae and i talk about it all the time and really like the stock 280 weight............. we'll see?

Amistad is real big, especially when your gearcase locks up in Caballo and a generous Skeeter rep tows you back to Box Canyon and your fishing club buddy tows you back to Diablo East. 
Agree that it's one of the most beautiful lakes in Texas, and one in which every cast feels like the one where you could land a 10-pounder......

Man that would suck, you definitely owed that Skeeter rep a few beers. And from Box to Diablo? I would have been looking for a ride to Diablo and driving my truck back. That

I do just because, but honesty it's not needed. I’ve never felt unsafe or seen anything I didn’t like. It’s nothing like Falcon, even then I don’t think I’d really worry about it.

Great pics!! Where is that lookout? We never made it over to box canyon. Castle, rough, & down to black brush were our main fishing areas. We were there the year after the first elite tourney was there. Limited time frame so we tried breaking down smaller areas. How far down is the water level? If it's really low, fishing has to be outstanding in certain spots!!! Makes an awesome winter get away.
