Travis Reed owns the boat and had Dynamite Graphix do the design. You can order that shirt or many other designs from DG. All proceeds from shirt/memorabilia go to the kid's trust.

Going to order a couple of shirts tomorrow. Thanks, Tom

White Lightning is a beautiful, bad machine.

White lightning might be the best sounding boat I ever heard.

Was at loto staying at Camden last year and had boats along the likes of Gone Again, Bob Bulls MTI, Greg's 192 mph Eliminator, J.T's 1600 HP turbo skater, Jeff Asbells Skater and more and White Lightning stood out when she started.

Beautiful and nasty boat. It was a personal fav of mine out there.

I was unaware that White Lighting had been redone. I was aware of it and how awesome it is. After some more digging and finding the engine pics and new paint...my jaw hit the floor. The boat is just stunning....Tom

Yep. We were shooting to have a whole row of Smith Power boats in that marina for 2014. May still try that!

Just put the word out and I'm sure that would happen. Still think of your bother quite often as I'm sure many of us do.

Well we will be there and I already requested my same room. I hope to see that view this year as it would be beautiful for the memory and the all involved in this great sport/passion.

I will be there sporting my smith power shirts and admiring your brothers and families work.
