I will be there to hang out with my friends and support anyway I can, co-drive, whatever.......I finished tearing all the decking off the Miller American, other then some sponson repair on port side the hull is in great shape, maybe 14lb boat but strong as hell, new decks, a little cowling work, paint and graphics and I will be good to go.......................next season. Bummer as I was really looking forward to racing this weekend......................running into the back of retrieval boat at 30mph is not advisable.............just saying

Kevin, you have the gift of understatement. From what I saw initially, it looked like you would be reworking the whole front half of the boat on the left side with a complete sponson rebuild. Nice to hear it wasn't that bad and will only require the sponson being redone.
