Re: Paging Team Loan Shark
This is the deal
My boat weighed in 250-350 lbs heavy every race. This season everybody in the class is so competitive. To fix my boat correctly is a 40k gamble. I will probably pick up another 100-150lbs. The boat is awesome and other than the canopy lid perfect so I decided to chop the top and have some fun running the boat. To finish out the season would be another 35k so its a 75k gamble at this point. When you look at it from this standpoint its the right thing to do.
You team owners out their know what I am talkin about. Writing checks ain't fun if you are not competitive.
I was very fortunate this season to race with Rob. We were a top three boat in every race when we either broke or finished and for that I am proud.
I still have 4 motors and all my props which are not for sale and am continuing talks for a new boat.
Two seasons and its time for a new ride.
Rumor has it!!

Somehow I knew it might come to this Dan.... 
Hold on to your parts, find a new boat that can be as light as the rest and come back to kick some a$$...
You and Rob will surely be missed....
