FOUR NATIONS Honda/Mercury or P1 or both?
Now this gets confusing:
Four Nations have announced 5 venues for next year, TV and I understand 16 teams have signed up.
P1 have announced that they are taking over the series and the 225 engine would change to Mercury 300. Is that because Solent Honda have become a Mercury dealer?
I look forward to the P1 Christmas present...but something in me says that we may end up being the Turkeys after they have got into bed with Mr Matthews!

Why do you guys not just simply bring your toys along to the well established Offfshore Playground !! We have races in Looe, Torquay, Plymouth, Harwich, Ireland, Kent, Ilfracombe, Salcombe etc.
If its all down to seeing yourselves on TV, then we will put it on TV !! all youhave to do is talk to either myself or Brian Peedell its much easier than you guys are making it.
Do yourselves a favour and get the FUN back.
Again Good Luck
Bob
(Chairman OCRDA)

Goodness me... I've heard it all...you stopped racing cos your boat was too slow after you boys couldn't get mine for the measly money offered!
You know what? you are so far up your leader's backside you are popping out of his mouth! He can't speak for himself or even write as he gets you guys and his two scribes to do the writing for him.
WAKE UP!!!!

That Geriatric's got a lot to answer for but I gotta say he has always given it the big one when trying to get new things off the ground, him and moi tried to get that wild cat series back in 91ish off the ground about the same time I hindered him in getting that Bournemouth powerboat show to be a goer too , it was all great fun back then, pretty sure as well that was the year that Geriatric kicked off the Brass monkey to complement the Bournemouth powerboat show
PS ... A local poole guy called Mike Baker got a record at Windamere running that little cat with a 65ish HP OMC racing engine/racing leg to 72ish mph

Yes he did ... going back then Geriatric said here I,ve got somefink to keep you busy ring these boat company's and get them to come to the Bournemouth show ... I can tell you when it comes to getting the boating fraternity to part with their cash for a show stand ... it's a question of however for good ole Geriatric he would sweet talk them and they would be eating out of his hand the ole smoothie
Here you in the Keys you lucky git or are you under a crane fiddling with things
