Any news if they found Steve ? I was hoping for a miracle that they found him along the river on a bank ,never talked to a person that was so helping from the first phone call when I bought his first drive from his boat he took care of all my parts that I bought in the usa and even build crates for it to ship it to europe if he didn t like the package it was in and never wanted anything else then a " thank you !"

I was hoping to meet personally him this spring and look at his great passion ,

Thoughts and prayers send to all his Family ,the RPM crew and all his friends

RIP Steve and hope to meet you on the other side one time !

Man I had been in talks with Steve over the last few months about purchasing their 30'+ they were working on. He was always so friendly to talk to me about anything I needed, even mundane questions. Guy will be missed.

Wow, so sad. RIP and prayers to all involved.

It's been a tough couple of years with these tragedies in the boating community.

RIP. I was unfamiliar with the boats until a few years ago when one tied up to us in line at the Shootout. Stunningly detailed and rigged and obviously a labor of love. The owner could not have spoken any higher of the builder and it's so sad to lose someone who took so much pride in their sport and their work.

I have never seen an RPM boat in person, but I have admired them through pictures for years. The way the boats were laid out, I described the boat as a jewel case for the motor. The detail of the engine compartments on his boats were absolutely amazing. It's like the boat was beautiful packaging to display the engine...

Dont know him but condolences to anybody in the performance boat world... Let's take this as a warning to not always push the limits and remember who is onshore when we go offshore...
