Well, at the end of the day there was a BAD incident, right in front of us!!

I wasn't sure about posting these pics, but an update from Brad says the driver is OK !!

When they got the boat back up and towed it in, the whole deck had been torn off the hull like an open fishing boat

Thanks for the pics Propless! It was good meeting you.

The incident that slowed everyones roll was stunning to say the least. You could hear a pin drop on the beach. I heard the driver had made it to the hospital, was checked out and was ok.

I wasnt able to take any pictures all day because I left my memory card at home. Ralph took a bunch of pictures of saturday so I assume he will be posting later this evening. I will be takin a ton of pics today to make up for yesterday.

The sales are doing better then I expected. Recruited

a lot of new people who will be signing up soon! Also, I have the Avi videos for sale too. Jerry (v-drive videos) squeezed out a handfull to bring for me to sell along with some others.

The most important question has already been answered, the driver invloved in the wreck is OK.

The second most important question has not been answered, why no beer? !!!!

I retract the above statement. The last word I got is that the driver is in serious condition, but will be ok.

The Staff and friends of SoCalJetBoats.com wishes him a speedy recovery.

That looks like it was a blast! I would have come if I hadn't been out driving my boat

I was gonna ask how the "Body Snatcher " did but judging from the video , it looked like Paul Grischar opened his usual can of whoop ass . Still a "body snatcher" fan though.

Body snatcher took first place in the finals! It was a 20 lap race and the other boat could not keep the pace up for all 20 laps and with three or four laps left the body snatcher took him.
