Thanks for sharing the pics guys.

Slightly OT, but I keep thinking of his boat (especially after seeing these latest pics) trying to figure out why the public and the media kept labeling it a 'Cigarette' boat. What about his boat looked like or even sounded like a 'Cigarette'??? What were the other boats he was running with at the time of the accident?

noyzee 07-18-2011 04:31 PM

there was a baja and a pantera, one of the other boats that was there was a cig but im not sure who he was or where he came from.

I was thinking the same thing scot!

Mike had one of those boats that was the hull of a performance boat, but the heart of a cruiser. It was a very utilitarian boat, useful for much more than just going fast.

It leaned just as far towards a sport cruiser as a performance boat.

you have to wonder if that heavy deck wasnt a part if the problem.

Prayers to friends, family and survivors. Can't imagine being part of the group on scene.
Prayers also to the survivor. Please keep us posted.
