NO per boat minimums, NO BS. Just show up and get payed! The time is now to promote a great race site that has gone out of it's way to have and awesome event. Cross YOUR line in the sand, whoever you are, and support this event and you won't be dissapointed!

The SVL fleet has the potential of having a 20 to 25K purse if enough boats show up.

Here are some updated photos of our progress.

Larry installed the drive today at Will Smith's shop. Warren has done a fantastic job with these drive. The photos do not do it justice. Warren is a true craftsman!!

Wil, the boat looks awesome man!! Gonna need to meet ur detail guy!! And also may need to pick up a little steering beef like you got in the trunk if we're gonna keep up with you guys in the turns @ Biloxi....

We all know that anybody who's got a set will be there.... No excuses!!

Hey Man, thanks for starting this link... Great to see everybody's progress!!

Later!! Kev

As some of you know, our dear friend DR. Simmons has been rebuilding his boat!!

I am for the first time in my life not exagerating in the least. The good DR. has taken his boat completely apart. No transmon, no floor, no cockpit, no ballast tank and no bulk heads. The following photos were from the 28th. The surgeon now has put in the transom, floor and has about a week's worth of glass work to do. He and his staff are eatin resin for their 3 square meals.

Enjoy!!

I feel guilty looking at Jim's boat pics. I thought I was doing a big job cleaning my babby up! It makes me laugh when I here people say they are trying to get there boats ready for Biloxi and then I see Jims boat and I know he has lesss time to do it in and I know he will be there. Jim you are my hero!!!! Your dedication speaks volumes of why you won the Randy L. light house award last year.
