Hey Bertle,

If you send me a fed ex account, I'll overnight ya a bunch of the newest issue of Extreme Boats Magazine with the Biloxi article in it. Jamie and I are sitting this one out so I doubt anyone will have this issue yet, they are hot off the press. They were handed out at the NY Poker run but if you didn't get it there, it'll probably take two weeks in the mail.

The boat is in fine shape after an herculean effort, and a prime contender for Sunday.
