Your one word post could not be more ignorant and disrespectful. Perhaps you will have some coming your way.

Glad everyones OK-I have a boat for sale if you are into the whole turbine mystic thing.
Selling your boat well that's what happens when you jump into something without running the numbers first to see if you can afford it...

It's time you finally changed your screenname to "JBS was racing. . until family trust fund ran out. Now just a curmudgeon not qualified to run a lemonade stand."

If that's too long, just go with "JBS Lemon" and we'll know what you mean.

Our fellow OSO'ers. Thanks so much for your words of support and kindness I can't tell you how much it means after loosing our "Secretariat". The past year has been quite challenging for us. It's seems there has been a gremlin hiding around every corner. Scotty and I are fine. Sbi safety stuck around assisted our Miss G safety team to ensure we were safely off the boat and ok. Thank you to all you guys and we really mean it..

The boat didn't fair so well.
It happened very very fast and the heat and fire consumed the boat in a few short min. 4 large halon systems and two full size hand held extinguishers had absolute no effect. Once the epoxy and fuel had ignited the heat was searing and left us no choice but to abandon trying to save her. We have a professional crash investigation team that will find the exact cause of the fire and we will update you the details as it is confirmed.


Isn't it funny how life works.Just when you take a couple steps forward....It hit's you. Our crew had spent weeks of planning, engineering and grueling hours to prepare her for the Sarasota Grand Prix exhibition run. She was absolutely stunning in looks and performance, especially on her final run. A huge thank you to our faithful hardworking crew that toiled through the night to get their own boat (this time) off the bottom and onto the trailer for the lonely quiet ride home. Much as they have selflessly done for our fellow racers throughout the years when they experienced a crash or loss. They really are the best.

In the end she a materiel thing and can and will be replaced and if you know us you know we won't disappoint you.

Once again we truly appreciate your kind words of support, we'll be fine. We ask that you keep your thoughts with Jassman, Pricilla Gratton the Morgan and Tillman families as there loss is forever ours is temporary.

Best regards to all of you.

Marc & Scotty B
