Does anyone know how to get in touch with Bob Ballard from Full Throttle Marine in Texas? The number that I have is no longer working. I believe that he went out of business, but thought someone may know how to reach him. I have a few questions about an engine that he built.
Thanks,
Eddie

Bob Ballard knows a thing or 2 about boats as well!

He is most known for the discoveries of the wrecks of the RMS Titanic in 1985, the battleship Bismarck in 1989, and the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown in 1998. He discovered the wreck of John F. Kennedy's PT-109 in 2002 and visited Biuku Gasa and Eroni Kumana, who saved its crew. Ballard leads ocean exploration on E/V Nautilus.[1]

I had a brain fart. I was actually just reading about Bob Ballard prior to making this post and that name just stuck in my head. Sorry, but it is Bob Lloyd that I'm looking for. Thanks guys for the info and the pm's. I really appreciate all of the responses.
