Congrats Mark.
But I'll stick with my estimate of less than 40 boats. All in all still great to see all the big boys out running.
By the way Kaama, we seen you run by near the piers in South Haven and the boat sounds great.

Lots of breakage and lots of boats not willing to risk equipment as the water got rougher
The DVD will have some incredible footage

I definitely agree, that was some of the roughest water we had ever experienced. We brought 4 boats and 3 broke something by mid-day Saturday. I cant wait to see the rest of the video!!!

I don't like to knock anyone but if fastforward was up in the grandhaven area he would have seen there were some very awesome and very powerful cats and vee bottoms.Alot of these boats on friday were giving disabled kids rides on there boats which use a trmendous amount of fuel but it seems that there are some that seem to run there mouth off
and don't know a dam thing that is going on. I was there both days and marc and his associate put on a good run and there were alot of spectators who had enjoyed what was there. Good show marc. 357sr1man

Easy guys. I understand what the events about and agree its a great one. Was just making a comment that the turn out was lower than last coming into south haven. Based on the other postings sounds like the water was a little rougher north of South Haven. I know heading back to St Joe the water conditions improved a bit.

I thought it was nice turnout with some really killer boats. The Viper powered boat went on one heck of a ride.
Hows that go Marc? "First Viper powered submarine".
