The boat is just sitting there in Dubuque with a fresh set of short-blocks sitting there waiting to go...
Ed retired and Rod has to work full time so that leaves little time to play.

I did a few poker runs with them when boat was being developed. Really drew a crowd when they started it up.
Unreal sound coming from those motors.
Real nice father/son team. They always took time to answer all the questions that came from the onlookers.
There was always a techy in back seat with a laptop doing high tech adjustments to the engines.
Way ahead of the rest of the group when they were doing all this.
In the runs I attended with them they always started and finished.
They really put a lot of effort into what they were doing and obviously a lot of money.
But.....real good people.

Rod was a lot of fun to hang around at the runs. The boat is still the meanest sounding boat I've EVER heard, by quite a wide margin.
It's funny to see how relatively quick the technology has advanced on nearly all powerboats since then, because Sorcerer was THE boat for a few years at all of the runs. As cool as it is though, today it wouldn't be in the top 5 as far as exotic boats & setups are concerned, in any of the major poker runs.
I'd love to see them bring it back out again.

I think Brad Zastrow had a pretty good story about "sorcerer". If I recall, he was in his 30 Motion with triple 280's, running around 110 MPH, and the "Sorcerer" passed him like he was parked.
Pretty incredible and humbling story - I run a 30 Spectre with twin 300XS's (96-99 MPH) and feel like I'm running pretty good. Add a third engine to my boat and I'm running 110+ MPH. To be passed at that point...........WHOA!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully Brad can chime in and correct the details. This was from memory.
