That's one tough boat. Glad it didn't turn into this.

Buckshot won many, many races. This was the new owner's first race with it.

That boat had the original early 80's hull still. That boat was racing on a yearly basis for over 20yrs. Sutphen put the newer style deck on the boat in the early 90's. Someone not Sutphen altered the structure of the boat. That combined with brutal racing for 20yrs takes a toll on the boat. She was a great Sutphen!!

12-13-2010 11:05 PMI have told the story before but its worth retelling.rmal Point water, 3' to 4' sea's and a great day for racing. I was in my boat racing our hearts out trying to play with the big boy's. Back then a Factory 1 was a class 4 boat. I can remember clear as day being along side of it when it came apart. I was with Murray and yelling OMG!!!! It was in the air in 2 pieces about 5' out of the water. You could clearly see it must have busted up on the wave before. It took its last jump in 2 parts and landed with a wall of water. I was glad to see everyone was ok on the next lap. It will forever be a day and sight I will never forget.

I'm sure that someone at Suncoast could give you J. Meric's number. He/she appeared to be the official photographer in Sarasota.
http://www.suncoastoffshore.org/race_photos.phpI'd rather be on the boat with a drink on the rocks, than in the drink with my boat on the rocks.

It's hard to tell, but that 'Buckshot' boat looks like a foam core...
Are all Sutphens foam cored? I would assume since that was a race boat, that it was a different lay-up than usual...
