Behind Bobby in that black/red 23 until it dropped a cylinder... D187 hit a ferry boat wave wrong and went for a little sky ride, which I'm sure they can tell us about if they post on here. I think they ended up messing up the prop hub..

That was a nice hook....unfortunate bobby dropped a cylinder and not too long after we spun prop hub. Sky ride wasn't a problem ,boat stayed level out of the water....plenty more sky rides to come when it gets rougher!

He emptied the ballast tank to catch D5 a 22 Bat that was in front but as he turned for home he got caught it their wake and lost control. The engine had come back to life and he was letting her hang. So boat for sale and I am looking for another one, maybe.

Main thing is Bobby and Chris were SAFE and un-hurt!!! Can always replace a boat,can't replace someone's life.
