Out of all of the outboards in attendance there were 10 two strokes and two of them were on my boat. The four strokes sure are changing the face of performance boating gatherings and runs in this country. The good news is they are continuing to be faster and faster.

looks like an amazing time for sure.

**Aaronhl** · 01-03-2022, 12:30 PM

Wow looks like a great way to spend the new year, about 1000 miles North we are celebrating by staying inside and paying a $700 oil heating bill Happy New Year lol

**scott reierson** · 01-03-2022, 01:04 PM

Look at that Phantom open! Nice pictures thanks for posting. Thats a lot of new Merc 4 Stroke Power.

Everyone seems to be wearing their caps correctly. Not backwards. Wow!

Between Funnel Cakes and Cannolis he won't be able to get thru the race hatch next year.

Joey Gratton Run Sarasota area

**Ziemer** · 01-03-2022, 05:18 PM

We had one of those 2-strokes! Lol. Had an oil issue so didn’t make the full run. Made it over by car and still had a blast. 😎

What’s the story on the white Phantom 32? It looks like a big Allison. Or a CC and a Tuff had a baby!
Are they fast?

"It looks like a giant allison" is exactly what I said to Will Smith (owner of phantom boats) the first time I saw it in Key West this year. Its a really cool piece and runs just short of 95 mph.

Friday by 10 the sea fog in the bay was so thick I just got out of the way and parked in some shallow water near Anna maria. I could hear go fast boats, but couldn't see em. Not good! Came back home by GPS. Shame, since it was glass calm. Sat was nice, but was too ruff for the Stream.

**JPEROG** · 01-03-2022, 08:20 PM

Thur. was good, Friday we started to head outside and quickly turned around to run the ditch. Saturday was perfect but choppy for the smaller guys including us. Sunday was great again. We were there due to lack of snow up North "we would normally be riding this week". If I go next year, we will bring a bigger boat.
