Joe - I don't know if Rick was still involved with the team when they had the Skater-built hull, but Don was. He's got pics of both boats hanging in the shop.

I put two-and-two together after talking with Don and seeing some of Viper's posts, and figured it was the same hull.

I was happy to let Don know she's still out there running stronger than ever!

A wise man named Don Aronow once told my farther racing in baddest Cigs at the time,,Its not how fast you go but how far you can go fast!!!
Jim living racing boating on Lake Pontchartrain for over 25 yrs has groomed me for such a run!!

ALSO::T2X FYI I cruise faster in rough water than race boats ran in your day!!Not talking 2miles try 30-60 depending what direction were crossing.Alot of pokerrunners are former racers I know plenty of racers that had no experience .So just because you put on a helmet and life line jacket it don't make you king of the water. Besides i wouldn't call 90% of the calm inland water courses today offshore racing my friend.
JUST MY 2 cents
