The 300 Stock Outboards and the Super Cats will both be interesting to see the outcomes.

Totally different water than in Cocoa Beach. Should not be as much delamination.....

Wow, impressive win for the new kids on the block at LOTO. That 15 year old Skater still has it!

Congrats to Tyler. The new Skater looked really strong too.

And Vinnie did well. I'm sure they will not make adjustments to allow Vinnie to run less weight with the bigger motors after that performance.....

Sure is a huge difference in coverage of first two races.

[john acosta]

sure was .

still it was coverage.


there is no reason that hull should not be on the podium .
each team treats their equipment differently
i hope the new team is very successfull.

remember the spiderman skater?
the first couple seasons ,that thing was a log in the water.

new team from cali . and boom!!! couldnt touch it.

never know .could have a lotta life still in it

[Ratickle]

[john acosta]
