Trim Party 2022

Well, as a first event of it's kind, we had an amazing turnout and an awesome time at the inaugural Texas Trim Party 2022.

 

The idea is that you break your subs out of winter hibernation and get them prepped for the 2022 running season by trimming out in a controlled environment, leveraging the collective experience of the group, then head out to the lake to give them a try.

 

A great time was had by all. Thanks to everyone that came out.

 

Mark your calendars for late March/ early April of next year. Everyone is invited. You don't need to be a Texas resident to attend!

SUBFEST 2021 was a terrific follow up to last year's event! We had more attendees, with more boats, and more raffle prizes than ever. Check out my blog entry summarizing the event, and stand by for a comprehensive video overview of some of the highlights from the event coming soon!

​

We had over 16 skippers bringing nearly 40 boats to the event. Attendees came from as far away as Las Vegas, Nevada, with one dedicated skipper having had to drive from Pennsylvania to Florida, back again, and then back to the event in Georgia, all in a matter of two days!
