I think that boat broke every race this year ????????????

Yea but they have led a few of the races too, I think they were having water pressure issues. They did finish in St Cloud and Daytona. Both Kurt and John are great guys and should be appluaded for stepping up big time from F1 to Super V. Best of luck to them. The are one of my two customes competeing in the SUPER V class the other being SHOCKWAVE.

Ryan is correct. The team did finish the races and take the wins in St. Cloud and Daytona. It's important to remember that with any brand new boat, it may take more than one run to get aquainted with it, let alone dial in the equipment, especially a raceboat.
The team finished second in the fleet in Washington, and is consistently moving up the line. It is a tremendous achievement for a team that went from Factory racing to the big leagues.

Congrats to Switch and Competative Edge.
