Nothing more than you already know. I saw it on the news this morning. It occured at Lay Lake and was billed as a single boat accident involving a "racing" boat. I have no other details.

OMG Steve is missing! He was the owner/builder. This is terrible. One of the nicest guys in the industry.

Hey Guys, ive been talking with Steve and Mark every step of the way as they been improving on this set up, just Monday after they ran the147mph they both called mee 3 way to tell me all about it. I couldn't of stressed to them enough to please be careful, to take a break at it and that they were going fast enough. My day today is at an all time low, I just cannot believe it, God speed that they find Steve and Prayers to Mark and his speedy recovery. This is terrible, ive been meaning to test my boat and push it further as well but with todays news I think its safe to say im officially done! Steve is and was an amazing man, always offered any help to even see my project go faster cause we had great competition at the LOTO shootout, always welcomed me anywhere I seen him with open arms!! I just cant believe this!!
