nuts off all summer. Our boating is all about being in the sun. Plus the detail of the paint make Speed Racer more desireable as a pleasure boat.
HOWEVER - If I was starting a race team. Rio Roses would do nicely.

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
I'll take either one - both beautiful and crazy fast.
Don't see any fallout from all this. Reggie has been pulling these stunts and ruffling feathers for years. Its good to see a CEO out in the field shaking things up.. need more of them out there. As long as things stay safe all the banter is healthy for the sport. People read way too much into it all....he uses his big ego to rope in others with big ego's - subliminal bonding thing Performance boats are a very small part of the market... so the competition is tough and the bark is loud.
If anyone is laughing it's probably D'Amiballe at Sterling Performance.
