    To drive is 12 hours 19 minutes according to Mapquest.

    12 hours 29 minutes, if you stop to pee and get more beer.

    Now you can understand why I decided to drive to Michigan....

    Damn glad I did too! I would have missed out on so much had I flown.....

    I was doing some SVL research. I show there were 11 registered with OSS? Where are they all now. And, is there more?

    I found one in Georgia for sale with everything but engine for $42,000. Probably too high for the current market. I don't see that one as one of the registered 11 either. But, maybe it is.

    thats a different boat. it was "Equalizer" and "WAY2KRAZY". There is also another Phantom out there. "INMOCEAN" not for sale yet. As I understand, one owner wants to sell it. the other owner does not.

    If these boats can get purchased and put on the course, you'de have some great racing.

    In my opinion, its the only class that has any chance of surviving and growing with older equipment.

    Heck, they even help if you have a Batboat that might be fast enough.....

    Don't know what they'd do if you won though....
