Of course it helps that Billy's been throttling rough water since he was 12 or 13 with his Dad.

One of Billy's great stories is when he was out in the Atlantic when he was 14 on a rough day with his Dad in a new 40' Skater. Billy says they were running along hauling ass in rough water, Billy was driving for the first time ever in a big Skater in rough water and having a blast while his Dad was throttling.

After a bit, his Dad stops and looks over and says, "you okay"? Billy says yep, doing great, with a big smile. His Dad says, "are you afraid"? Billy says nope, not at all. His Dad says, "That's cause you're too stupid to be afraid".

Billy says he has never forgotten that.

But, in rough water with a great boat, Billy is a force to be reckoned with. He has to be the favorite whenever that occurs.

And now, he finally has a great boat.
