Ryan, We are close. Dave has done a lot of work on it. As you know, it was a very light lay up so he is adding a lot of knees, stringers and bulk heads. we are also doing alot of canopy work making it alot more like the MTI canopy.

Because he voiced his opinion and facts here on the internet and they gave him a $500 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct, which he refused to pay, then he went to St cloud, Helping his friend out and was seen by a SBI Official, but instead of approaching him there, they sent him a letter a week later telling him he is not welcome at any SBI events.

SKATER built us a great boat. John Vanderstel / Mercury built a great set of motors. And Colabella / Mercury got the power to the water. We couldn't do it with out every ones help.
CarCredit123.com, FGS, Action, Chicago Case, Freeze Frame, Trick, Livorsi, Latham, & Yellowfin to name a few.
Thanks to everyone for the moral support and especially the people that showed up to help in the 13 day rig/graphics process.....John Vanderstel, Mark Hanna, Scotty Samec, Jeff Gerardi, Dennis Batchie, Jon Liddy, and last but not least Tim Kenny......Timmy was here EVERY DAY for the process. It wouldn't have been done without his help and effort. Also my girlfriend Sabrina for putting up with me throughout this lenghty process and for being a trooper and spending WAY too much time in the truck with me driving......
Another special thanks to my Driver John Talley and his family Deb and Carl for putting up with me and my oddities. They stuck it out at the end of last season and hopefully now we'll see more benefits.
As Pete said I live and breath boat racing and am passionate about it so this win means alot to me even if it was one other boat. We finished 16 seconds apart after 60 something miles it wasn't exactley a cake walk.
