I really want to go but with a 23' boat and not a lot of experience don't want to get in over my head - no pun intended.

Thanks in advance

Just learned that Stihl will not be racing. Just got off the phone with Mark the throttle man. He will be with me this weekend at Skaterfest.

Its pretty simple, we ran Cocoa Beach, the boat immediatly left for Long Island Air show, then Seaside, Atlantic City and got home a week before Marathon. We beat her up pretty good and never really had a chance to do maintanance. These were all rough water venues with the exception of Seaside so we never really ran her up over 150 mph. After testing at high speeds(for extended periods of time) for the first time this year We found a issue with Inlet Air temp in Marathon and could not solve in time to start race. We now have a solution but its a redesign of some of our air intake and cooling system. The work is not complete yet. We will be ready for The AC air show and the rest of the season

less airshows/exhibitions, more racing, guys. the offshore public is "seeing" CMS dominating UL class in 2105....not a good thing for MGRT fans.

Thanks for clarifying. I was under the impression it also was related to the high air and surface water temps in Marathon, and figured those wouldn't be a factor up North in our iceberg laden waters ;)

Here is another one I always use. Just pick the area you want. New Buffalo has a great ramp up the river and good parking. Little bit of an idle to the lake but a nice ride to MC. Just looked for fri & sat. Going to be bumpy.
