Just received this months Powerboat mag and read the article about Bob & Kathy Latham titled Precious Metals and written by Matt Trulio. For those of you who may not know Bob & Kathy, they are great people. As you will read in the article, Bob is a real asset to all of us who enjoy offshore boating. He is a very knowledgeable, meticulous and honest man.

I have known Bob and Kathy for many years as well, and you would be hard pressed find a better or more honest person around the marine industry. Latham started the hi perf marine steering business and still builds the best products around. Some people say there products are too expensive but you get what you pay for. Control of ANY boat at high speed isn't something that I would pinch pennies on.

When we built the four engined Jesse James 48' Super boat, everything was custom designed and crafted. The rudders required the deepest spec tolerance blind bore into aircraft aluminum ever done outside of NASA.....

Bobby Latham......pulled it off.

Cathy was my co announcer on NNRT for a a few years and added the charm part.....that I never had.

Congratulations guys...... you deserve it.
