I guess that was up to the owner to race or pace and I don't think the boat was specced out for any of the classes. Besides, I think it did a better job selling new boats over at the Poker Run docks. ;-)

Thanks for the updates Panther. Do you know where they are building the new boats? I thought it was around st. augustine or palm coast area.

Edgewater I believe. I don't think Pat does the lamination at his shop? I think he uses the same guys as Chief. However, the lamination schedule and materials used to build the Chief are much different than the AT's.
