Congrats Tyson! Quite an accomplishment. Steve ( 36 Skater) will be contacting you after the first of the year about some Tysoncraft boxes for his blower motors.

determined was when it was 2 am and we have been beat up by rough water for 16 hours and have not had any food or stopped to pee and chris is in the back trying to fix broken fittings on the extra fuel tanks to get the fuel out, the fuel guage shows empty, and you hit a bigger wave and turn around and look and all you see are feet up in the air and he kept ahold of the fuel pump transfering the fuel holding the pump up to the tank for 30 min in 6' seas.
