Default Respect

I have never seen a person putting so much time effort. And money in a project like this doing almost everything by him self and on top of that he still find time to put every thing good or bad that happens here on the forum also Tyson respect everyone s opinion even when a lot of us will go in full devence mode and start a bashing.

I have great respect for this and would have known this when I was at the 2016 Miami boatshow when my boat was next to the skater booth and I saw Tyson work on the boats from early morning to late evening so they where in showroom condition all day .

keep up the positive vibe and the thread updates for all the guys that love it like me and thank you so much for sharing it !

I chatted with Tyson at the Blue Chip casino Saturday night before the Race at Michigan city last summer for what felt like an hour... started off talking about the switch to M8’s, then to the logistics of things, where he’s going to launch, fuel stops, even about avoiding the pirates around the African SE. coast, he had answers for it all.... I think he knows what be’s getting into.

Humor is great. That's why you have comedians such as Rosie, Ellen and the Donald. We have a pip-squeek named Trudeau, kinda like a Donald but with real hair. As I stated, I should of gone through all of the posts before commenting. Seems like the man I have questioned regarding his efforts, has done well, kudos to you Sir, (genuine). My only points being the distance traveled and the light lay up of rotating machinery. I have raced a max of 400 miles, nothing compared to what this man attempts. During the race 80% of my boats parts were loosend up, not catastrophic failures, but soon to be. If someone hasn't experience a race on water they have "ZERO" idea of how sore your body is the next day, let alone your machines beating. This being said, best of luck to you! Be safe and keep those sticks full ahead. I'll be watching your progress. Regards and respect, Andy.

BTW -- writing this from Canada...
Hay Lysol, if you were a real Canadian you would of known if I'm wrong I would of apologized of which I did but you didn't give me a chance. Hay Lysol if you were a real Canadian you wouldn't of bashed one of your own. Hay Lysol what is the capital of Canada? Please don't answer Baghdad! Last but not least, your showing two emoji clinking (light beer) mugs, as Canadians we don't know what light beer is. Cheers, Andy

The recent struggles with the drives and engines can lead to only one thing.... Outboards. Lots and lots of outboards. Say like 12 of them, probably two rows of them.
