I remember reading on the internet (for what it's worth) that insurance was astronomical on that boat. $20k for like 3 weekends or something like that rings a bell.
I remember it from the key west run rumor was it was towed to key west because of the fact it could not run well enough to make the poker run
One thing I remember was them tied to the dock trying to get it to run spent prob 45 min just reving it like crazy when they finaly stopped the whole resterant which was mostly people from poker run stood up and clapped People who were running dry pipes on the run were embarrassed mosto obnoxios display I ever saw
I loved the technology but I think it never ran well for any length of time
With all the "themed" boats out there it always amazes me that this boat continues to draw interest and gets brought up from time to time. I haven't seen it run since I saw it in havasu around 2000. Sick boat that has standed the test of time and turned into some what of an icon.

Well when I was there (Tschigfrie's) running the boat, Rod said CMI made them to his spec's. Not everything Rod did was logical but it sure looked good.
