FYI: There's a couple page spread in Yachting magazine about Barry's fleet of about 15 boats, all named Man of Steel. His biggest is his new 164ft. Nice article with some cool pictures.
On another note, I think it's funny when people call his piston cat Zuperman, too lazy to recognize that the boat's name is Man of Steel? - or are they just confused my the picture of Superman with a Z on his chest? Anyhow, the Turbine cat is an Outerlimits (although there was a lot of people saying it's an MTI) it was rigged by John at Turbine Marine, inc. The best in the business, who also does all of Haggin's Miss GEICO Turbines.

"inspecting" hhhmmmmm. well what you inspecting, others call rebuilding, either way technically WHISPERING is now performing all geico's turbine work along with its own inhouse crew that just got done re-rigging the Mystic.
i guess you missed that announcement on the front page of this website?

WOW. Many misinformed people willing to argue. Tracy is very good at what he does for the Ellstrom family and probably his other customers at Whispering, however he has nothing to do with the Miss GIECO Racing team to date. Mr. John Arruda, you are changing the world.
I will try to post some pictures of Barry's new Outer Limits, if the weather is nice this weekend.
