Damm shame. Glad to hear Mark and Scott are ok. Only thoose who have been thru similar circumstances can understand how big a loss this is to a race team, both emotionally and financialy. Remember the important thing is a new boat can be built but not a new Mark and Scott. Stay strong team Gieco.

There should be a way to blow the bilge drain as a last ditch effort to save the hull. It's not like the boat will sink but simply bob in the water but at least the fire won't burn it to the waterline!

Glad everyone is okay!

I had the same thought. A large caliber machine gun would have saved some equipment too with the same principle, but bilge drains would not have sank the boat fast enough.

The only thing that might have helped was if they could have somehow flipped it upside down. Water would have cooled and extinguished what it came in contact with, and trapped air oxygen (not counting the bottles) would be all used up.

Too bad TowBoat US wasn't johnny-on-the-spot for that effort. I hear they are great at flipping boats!

towing it backwards could of sunk it too but the heat from the fire was probably too overwhelming to do anything but jump over board.

LMAO... yes, I am sure you are making Dave lose sleep by attacking one racing/oso's most respected members. Not to mention your are just boosting your credibility at the same time as a first class offshore guru.. As I am sure you know based on your fact laden posts that not everyone gets out of racing because they lose a sponsor, some walk away because they have achieved what they set out to do. Believe it or not some people do not even need a sponsor.. I am just speculating because I do not have the insight you have, I can only go off the couple dozen races I have seen and talked to Dave and his crew at. That does not compare to your insider super troll internet rambo behind a keyboard knowledge :signs043:

See this just shows your ignorance and why you shouldn't have posted that snide comment because you didn't know who you were talking to.

Dave is Dave Scott AKA Kilokat, many time World Offshore Champion and 5 time LOTO Top Gun Champion. He has logged more hours over 150mph than you have hours in your boat.

Now are you man enough to make a public apology because that's what you need to do.
