Bob, Smitty, Christian, Brian and everyone else (I am not sure of everyones real names),

Christian,

You are right he would spend hours upon hours trying to dial a boat in whether it was drive height, props, intakes, cylinder heads, jetting carbs, ect. He loved Sutphens too, and had driven the 30' Sutphen "Big Shot" on a few occasions, and just thought the world of Sutphens on how they would handle rough water.

It does not appear that my father will recover, but God can perform miracles and that is what it will take now. I will keep praying while my mother, my brother and I look after him in these last days.

Here is me driving his old (but brand new in the picture) 24' Pantera (and an 18' Donzi he restored entirely for me and my brother). He would do anything for his children and grandchildren, as well as any powerboater that needed help, or anyone who just wanted to talk/bullsh*t about boating. He loved boating, working on his boats in order for them to be faster, and working on other people's boats in order for them to have reliability and a good boating experience.

Thank you all for the support/thoughtfullness

thought and prayers are with you and your family. i spoke with you and your dad a few times a few years back when i was looking at a 34 phantom that was for sale. soory to hear of what your going thru. my folks are gettin up there as well 75 and 72 and in 2006 they couldnt get in my spectre fast enuff..they had more fun then i did i think. there snow birds and there up here for the summer. last year my mother got pretty sick and due to enphazima (spelling) is now permanently on oxygen and its tuff for her to walk more then 20-30 ft at a clip without gasping. i've been spending as much time with them as possible while there up here this summer including taking them out on there 260 Sundancer. Joe D from the board showed my pops a great time this past friday by taking him out on his 37 Outerlimits with 900's and 6's and my pops had a blast.
Sorry for ranting and hijacking your thread...AGAIN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOURS

He is in my prayers and, based on his boats, shares the same passion that I do over a similar period of time. You gotta love the guys who paid their dues and kept the faith.

May he find smooth seas and a star to guide him.
