I had more to say but I was in a vicoden (sp?) buzz after my Friday surgery.

I would personally love to get a SVL 30 Phantom and run some spec class’s but until there is some stability in the offshore ranks I cant afford to spend more on a “spec” boat only to end up having to run it in a “P” Class.

The more boats the more stability. A spec boat makes more sense. You race a spec boat in a P class, but you can't race a P-class boat in a spec class most of the time. 2 days of racing at some locations. Not that I really know what im talking about but were going to give it all we can our first year.

Sounds to me like you know what you are talking about, unless you build motors for a living you can't beat spec racing, Mercury support, Mercury money and equipment that last. A good class is stability! unless Randy is in it!???

John I have never seen this mean side of you about me. But I like it.

Update from the WHM (Old name) Team:

Motor should be back from Merc by the middle of next week and installed the day after. I will be throttling the boat with Doug and look forward to meeting alot lf you fellow racers!

The boat is going to the paint shop this week...so we should be ready to rig this thing by the end of next week. Doesn't leave us much time to test?!? May have to head to NJ to find some water (not like the ice we have here).

Man, I love the time frame..We have to be on the road by when to make Biloxi?

Dave great to hear from you. Any pics of the boat as you go along? Get used to the tight time frame's. It seems we are always wrenching away the night before we leave every time. George from Popeys mentioned he had a prop that worked really well on that boat that he wants to sell. Most of us have props you can barrow at Biloxi to test with on Sat. If you want to test here in NJ just give me some dates and we will drop it in and test all you want. If you want you can leave the boat here and come back on the weekends to test. Just ask and you will receive from this class.

Does any one talk to Simply doesnt Show Up. AKA Simply Awsome. What's his problem? Muller said he would love to throttle his boat against us little itty bitty SVL boats at Biloxi. I think he needs some love from all the SVL guys. Bruce here is my love . Im pretty sure you all need to send him some love to inspire him to show.

If we can help you along with your SVL venture. We have travel lifts and forklifts available to you any time no charge, if you need to test in Jersey. Just go kick Randy's a@@. Smitty

Thanks guys for all of the support! I'm sure we will take you up on your offers!

We think we might attend a few of the OPA races this year as well. Last year we raced at Cambridge with Team Reindl and also the Worlds in Destin. This looks like it's going to be quite an adventure!

Dave

The offer is there no matter where you race. Like I said.....JUST GO KICK RANDY'S A@@
