Oh I remember...
I used to come out and watch
Usually in my Powerquest
but one year when I was w/o a big lake boat...
brought the wife and son out in our 18' pontoon, 30hp and all

It was still a cool site watching the rigs come and go! ! !
I remember the foggy launch the best...what year was that?
Who/what was the rig that was going to attempt world record on Muskegon lake that same year? Ended up getting cancelled...
