    How did you originally become friends with the Apache gang, and more importantly Ben & Bobby? Had you guys been childhood buddies, school bro's, worked together?

    Outside of the "business" he chose, or the obvious legal problems it created..... What kind of a guy was Ben? Was he a cool guy to hang around, or was he an ass-hole? What was his sense of humor like?

    Obviously we can read, ask, or just find out for yourself about Bobby... all of which, is great stuff. There's surprisingly little info out there, that paints an illustration of Ben, in neither a good OR a bad way. He's every bit, if not the MOST interesting figure in the entire Apache saga.

    I can tell from my experience that Benny is tough,smart, and definitely a larger-than-life figure. Even in the time warp of prison, he is very,very sharp and has incredible stories.
    His focus,as it should be, is to get out. While he was no angel, he was definitely handed a a sentence that was excessive(my opinion) and he has taken one for the team,so to speak. MM said it well that he is a standup guy.
    IMHO..I would take Benny any day as a back up...

    Apache to Ben was his toy..I mean building boats and the boat business.
    In his grand scheme of life,offshore was his passion and his recreation...not a way to make a living.
    Apache was not a profit driven enterprise for him and most likely,he lost money..but, he loved the sport.
    Benny made an indelible impression on me as did Billy Elswick..two enigmatic characters

    Just my opinion...

    Magnum Mark I still think you are one funny (dry humor) son of a gun

    You remeber the dinner we had at some Italian place. It was myself, You, Lucy, Bobbie and the Clowns that owned Chief? (Cant belive i was wrapped up in that for a while)

    was a fun night. Lots of great stories

    ahh and then the drama continued LOL

    An alternative could also be

    Offshore Racing wasn´t designed to be a spectator sport, it's for people or companies with's lots of money to push the envelope of endurance technology and hopefully put a trophy on a mantle. It's man vs the elements, not like boats with like engines running in circles.
