COVER SHOT!LOOK FAMILIAR? This is our cover shot for Powerboating in Paradise NEWS, Vol-2 #1. Owner Steve David turned over the helm of his Black Thunder XT430 to Stu Jones for the ride down Biscayne Bay on our way to Hawks Cay Resort. The triple-engine sport cruiser has also been featured in Hot Boat and Powerboat Magazine. What a machine!

Too Much Fun Walter?!Just by the look on his face, Walt Molosh sums up his feelings about escaping the cold weather in Jersey and the daily pressures of the business world! "I'm in the Keys now and I am ready for some serious debauchery"!
|
|
Good Bye Miami, Hello Keys!With Steve David's 43 Black Thunder leading the way, we were ready to hit the throttles and leave Miami in our wakes as we headed for Hawks Cay Resort, Duck Key.
|
|
OLIVER'S TWIST!Oliver Longobardi makes know bones about his twisted obsession called "powerboating!" He proved that when he traded his Scarab Sport for this decked out 33 Powerplay, equipped with the best of everything. Don't worry Oliver, everyone tells us we're twisted too!
|
|
Cruisin' the MangrovesWandering through the scenic mangroves is one of the neatest things about boating through the Florida Keys. Larry Jones takes time to check things out from the cockpit of his 42 Fountain.
|
|
Rosenberg,Pansino & Co.These Chi-town boys spend so much time in Florida we don't even believe them when they say they're from Chicago. Robert(L) runs a 42' Fountain and Nick (R) owns a 38 Cigarette Top Gun last time we checked. (guy goes through alot 'a boats...hard to keep track!)
|
|
Holidays at Holiday Isle!We can't pass Holiday Isle without stopping in for a social call! The Tiki Bar for an ideal stopover en route to HAWKS CAY RESORT.

|
LUCKY STEVERene and Sabrina from Steve David's crew, helped him celebrate his birthday over the weekend. He's getting on in years now, so he was already in bed when we took this shot.
|
|
Say Aaaahhhhhh!Probably one of the nicest Cigarette Top Gun's in the club if I may say so...many would agree. Gerry Santiago's "Zero Cavity" lays at rest in Holiday Isle's Marina, before heading back out to pace the group into Hawks Cay Resort.

|
Stu and Mystery Guest!Hey Keith, you need to come on more club trips, especially when you bring along pretty single ladies!! Colleen joined Keith and Audrey Workman in the Sonic 358, THIRRRSTY, making it her first Poker Run with the club. Hey Colleen, don't you get invited back down for a trip soon?

|
Carl & Tammy with StuCarl & Tammy Hansen with Stu in Key West. Looks like we're having fun in front of Sloppy Joe's. And if you swear you'll never smoke cigars....guess again! We'll have you puffin' away in no time. Key West just has this wierd affect on people. Makes 'em do crazy things!
|
|
Here comes TROUBLE!Have you ever been kicked out of a bar?? No. Follow these guys around for a few days....I can assure you it will happen. Pauly(L) can often be found aboard any one of the Friedman flotilla boats alongside Michael (C). Oh, the guy on the right nibbling on his hand, thats some guy that keeps poppin' up on club events on various boats. He looks alot like Carl Hansen(Attitude Adjustment) but we're unsure!
|

New Basin:Hawks CayThe newly completed "Back Basin" at Hawks Cay is actually quite a nice improvement to their docking situation.

Boats are seen here arriving back from our daytrip to Key West, which is just 60 miles away.
