Congratulations Steve and Gary!!! You guys had a great race!
Lucas ran these guys over in the parade lap! OUCH!!!

Glad everyone was okay!

Notice the red marks up along the canopy. You could see the chines right over the driver compartment. This is one solid boat.

Lucas had a nice chunk missing out of the skeg. And those weissman's are thick!

They should rename the boat "Manatee".
I apologize in advance to anyone I just offended...

That is another APF of 10+. (Ass Pucker Factor)

Was anyone else in Key West about 6 yrs ago when the 30' Chris Cat was run over by a 46 Skater right infront of the outer mole?
The tip (pointy end) of the Six Drive cought one of the guys in the rear base of his helmet. His head slammed into the dash & the helmet was ripped off. In the middle of the flying fiberglass & spray, everyone saw the helmet flying through the air & feared the worst.
Fortunately, although badly injured, he made a full recovery.
p.s. the boat didn't make out as well. During the trauma rescue, the boat sank beneath them. Nose up, they dragged it to a sandy spot near the pier where it was later recovered.

CigDaze 11-27-2002 08:36 AM

DJD,
Wow, that's incredible. Fortunate outcome, thankfully.

RUSSSR1 11-27-2002 08:45 AM

:eek: :eek: WOW, I wonder what that sounded like inside the cockpit.

CigDaze 11-27-2002 08:46 AM

RED!, RED!, RED!...

R Addiction 11-27-2002 09:33 AM

I got goose bumps from that, or is it because it's 40 degrees here:mad:

Congrats Steve and Gary well deserved,glad your OK.The coffee was good.fun time. :cool: :cool: :)

I actually have home video & the espn2 tape of the race showing the crash. It happend 50' in front of us & everyone on the pier.
The skeg mark split the transom of the receiving boat, then ran up the right side hatch & ripped a V in the high back drivers seat head rest, then continued down the deck.
I can't remember the name of the small cat, but the the 46 Skater was "Zero Defect" driven by Laith Farron. A big buck dads money team

Sean 11-27-2002 02:51 PM

Dave,

I rmember that also...I have pics of the shadow cat sinking...I believe the name was Black Shadow...

Steve,

Great Job! That is definitelyt an APF of 10+...What ever became of your F1 Cig?

The 46 Skater is still running hard on poker runs. It has'nt ran over anybody lately but I run the crap out of it. FREEDOM US1 is the old Zero Defect refurbished into a poker run boat. Its a great boat to run in rough water!!

I saw it. Everyone thought/said he had beed decapitated.

The driver (Laith Pharon, a "Middle Eastern" fellow) fled the country that day by private plane. :(

The Shadow cat Black Shadow cut across the course off of plane infront of the mole pier. They were around the bend so when Zero Defect came in the harbor at 100+ they couldn't get out of the way. I was on the pier when it happened a very bad site to whatch the whole thing happen.

If you ever get sick of the boat, I'll be happy to take it for you.
That is a sweet ride!

The only good thing about stuff like this is: It happens so fast there's no time to be scared. By the time you realize what happened, it is over.
