10-20-2009 07:05 AMExtremely well said George, class act. SVL, super class of competitors. Reminds me of racing motorcycles in motocross and desert when I was young. Everyone does anything they can to help put their competitors out there, no matter what. Great group....

I have a hard time thinking your just parking the boat for winter. I'm not, I got a few good ideas I have been wanting to try for sometime. I now have to.
No holding back for next year
I remenber calling Will last year and asking some set up questions. His response was You know better than me now.
Next year will be the year. Like George said better buy now.
