Default Joker Powerboats 611

Smith Brothers Offshore Racing Team announced today they will join with Joker Powerboats to contest the 2011 Offshore Powerboat Association Championship . The boat is 26’ and will be powered by the same Mercruiser 496 Mag HO that propelled their previous boat to the 2009 OPA Class 6 National Championship. The boat will be campaigned as Joker Powerboats 611.

Pete Smith, Driver "We are looking forward to getting our new Joker Powerboat. David Goode builds one heck of a boat and we look forward to racing it against the other manufacturers in our class. We will join two other teams currently running Joker Powerboats in OPA Offshore Racing.”

Rich Smith, Throttleman “Brian Hollis at Joker Powerboats is building us an outstanding boat. Not only is it built to be raced, the construction and finish is perfect. The boat is identical to the one that beat us in the 2007 OPA Championship, so we know how it will perform.”

Completion and delivery of the Joker is expected to be in late December . The team is looking forward to escaping the cold weather in the Northeast and head to Georgia to take delivery. Rigging of the boat will begin immediately upon their return to NJ to be ready for the 2011 season.

Nice move on the hull. You guys could win in a row boat hull. All kidding aside Brian makes a great boat. You are in it for the long hall and a solid hull will keep you there. Ive always told people your team with a 496 is what class 6 is all about. You are always a fan favorite as the underdog and you pull out championships. I dont have to tell you to man up. You NEVER complain just race. My heros!!!!
