I think Bobby Moore deserves a little more recognition here. As T2x noted, Bobby was the first (he invented the concept, right?). T2x also pointed out some time ago in another thread that Bobby was his candidate for "smartest" throttleman, never running harder than he had to. Anyone who saw him run the four-engine "Nuff Respect" Skater had to admire how smooth he could make that monster look. Also and excellent mechanic/setup man/rigger - he did a great job setting up an unusual boat for me six years ago, and I was impressed with his knowledge and the results. (Typical "dumb like a fox" North Carolina guy: Talk slow, but think fast...)
One of the few survivors from "the old days", too. That has to mean something...

Bobby's been knocked off of my mantle by Jerry...as the smartest. Jerry has not only been smart in what he does....but in who he does it for......
Bobby also clung to the four engine concept... a little too long.

Bob & Eric are moving to a new building, so it's sort of slowing things down.
I'll post some new pics in a week or so.

I'm not trying to cause trouble here but.............you guys don't even mention Fabio or Stefano, those guys can/could run a boat. I'm not discounting anyone on your lists but everytime they came here they pretty much raced in rough waters and beat everyone on your lists.
I've been in the Buzzi boats with both Sirois and Gilbreath, both are/were great but couldn't run them like an Italian!!!
Tres Martin was the only person I could say I ran alongside that could run a boat like an Italian!!!
