    Joe Offshore
    We all know him.
    He’s that guy. Been there, done that, got the shirt.

    In reality Joe Offshore is a little bit of many people in this sport. He’s an enthusiast, he’s a boater, he’s an industry guy and alot of times he’s a racer. And sometimes… well, you know.

    What individual has influenced the industry and sport of offshore powerboating more than any other?
    Is it Reggie? Aronow? Kiehaefer? Maybe.

Most of us in some form have had this debate with our friends. And most likely you have a few personal favorites, and maybe even someone you admire ...
