    Tasha Hunt and Koyne Watson, thank you from another Okanagan BC Resident for the fantastic work killing another potential beast.
    The past days have been incredible with fire starts (fire bugs and pyros at play) up and down the valley.
    Your speedy speed boat efforts are obviously a great gift you gave back to a community.
    Your boat rocks, and so do you both.
    Thanks BIG time!

    I was there last summer dealing with the fallout of fires in and around Whisper Lake and Prince George. 87 North was totally useless. We had to ride through Kamloops all the way around just to get to Prince George. Glad to see folks like this guy handling that business. If I would have to reroute farther east just to go west, it would have eaten up more than a couple of days.

    I used to work on twin-cats whose two caterpillar engines would each shift the equivalent of an Olympic sized swimming pool every two seconds, it's a damn impressive sight up-close and personal, but those things were huge compared to that little thing.
    What I'm getting at here is that comparatively speaking, the power to weight ratio on that thing must be through the roof, lol 👌 🍻

    Controlled burns are never done in such dry conditions and so near residential properties. Interesting fact. Fires are caused by three things........men, women and children. Along the line there is ALWAYS a human element involved. Even down to spontaneous combustion in silos which are caused by incorrect storage conditions.
