i agree with scottb, jo nunez from pantera on throttles and pepe nunez on the wheel.this father and son team are hard chargers from the start to the end and have a world of experience.i have been out with jo in the past in some huge water and the guy never missed on the sticks.i felt in control at all times.
johnny tomlinson is also on the top of my list.

Joey Impressia - he always ran the snot out of it. Joey and Stuart Hayim where invincable.

Throttleman: Lee Murray---a class act in all aspects of the sport. countless wins, national, and world titles.
