Ya sorry I should of explained that. Early on leg 1 they were racing when all of a sudden there was a loud bang. Engine was off and had no power. And with no power you are kinda a long for the ride. The boat spun out, and came in backwards. Before they new it they had to unbuckled the harnesses and jump out. At the time they didn't know what let go and caused the loud bang. But now you see it was the bowl shattering. |

stopped by Ali-Craft while Steve was shoveling the last of the mud , sticks and rocks in the dumpster . Wouldn't of thought the hull would of been in as good of shape if he had been able to get it out the next day ! After all the trip's up to try and fish it out and the time and money he spent looking for it , he had a ear to ear grin that only the guy that built it could Shaun thanks for posting the pictures . _________________ Rick's Precision Machine
