The Cig Stinson was in is not Brett's old F2 Boat. It did roll and ejected Brett Furshman and Scott Mander. It's still a great boat but not meant to turn at break neck speeds. I raced a 2002 38 TS Top Gun and trust me I know. Matter of fact I may be the only one not to be ejected out of a TS racing. BH

Let' bring this tread back up maybe someone will add information on the F2 at Phil's.

Are you saying that Bruce and I are in for a wild ride in the Gladiator????

I meant the TG F-2 But feel free to share Brett!

The definition of ocean racing is:
Standing in a cold shower, beating yourself over the head, while tearing up $100 bills as fast as you can.

Are you going to be in for it you ask? Depends on water conditions and who's running the sticks and trim. Hope you have a hot tub at your house, you'll need it.

PS-Some of the best times in my life was when I was racing. I have a solid 180 races under my belt, and the scars to prove it. I would do it again without thinking about it.

Go buy the book "SEARACE" by John Crouse.

I've crawled all over it many times. It's usually sitting in the showroom.

That was the F-2 boat prior to being 'Speed Racer'.
Stinson has some great frame by frame shots of that boat rolling with him and Dick Simon on board...boat was fine by the way.

I got an e-mail a few weeks ago that "Cigarette1" on this board had bought the boat. I sent him a few pictures of it from when we had it and we shot a few messages back and forth discussing the boat. From what I understand, he is not taking it out of Phil's until after the Miami boat show or maybe even a little later. Maybe things have changed since then, but this is the last that I know about the boat. Maybe he will check in and confirm this or correct me.

HD,

Thanks again for the pics. I am still here, the deal is still on. I just don't want to toot my horn too loud until the deal is closed, which should be Tue-Wed of next week. The bank is waiting for one document from the prior finance company and then it all mine.

I have plane tickets to take delivery on 01/09 and run it around for a couple of days and then I'll be back for the boat show. I do intend to leave it in Miami until some time after the boat show. We want to stay the Mon-Tue after the show to boat around. Any OSO peeps going to be boating that Mon-Tue in the Miami area??? I would love to run down to some of the Keys, play around SoBe and explore the IC around FtL.

Any players ????

It's official Baby !!!!!
