This is not the Bill I met at Crassest Creek shootouts that owned the 43. His name was Bill Reiffer.

Bill Reiffer is "technically" the second owner if you count the owner of the dealer who originally ordered the boat.

Luckily Bill Reiffer is ok

Sad to here about Bill Wrights passing....

Thanks offshore, Bill pm'd me as well. I had just met him a few months ago. Sorry to hear about the other gentlemen.

Bill R is only the second owner if Bill W titled the boat. Most dealers don't title the boat, similar to car dealerships and demos, whoever purchases it from the dealer is the original owner.

That is correct. The boat was not titled prior to our purchase. Bill W. used it 3 times as a demo.

Saw it being towed down 96 around Marne on Sunday headed East... I was headed to Muskegon

We were out Sunday in Grand Haven. First time out on the lake with it. Handled the 4 footers beautifully.

Hope you are enjoying it. That is a really cool boat and I can only imagine that it absolutely crushes the waves.
