They show 31 boats registered, but I think that probably includes the Clash of the Titans boats.

A cool thing, 3 Super Vees. I think that may be the most at one race in years. But, no Class 1's, no Super Cats, no Factory Stock 500's, no Super Stocks, and no Mod Vee's.

Mike is here with his Vee Extreme, but no competition because JBS had hydraulic hose issues and left when they lost steering in testing.

Mike's Vee Extreme

Just so in case you come by boat, you won't get lost.

The most unique boat I've seen here.

Last race of the day was a pretty dang good race. Evil Ed in Knucklehead Racing got off to a very bad start. Was probably 200 yards behind before he got the boat on plane. Then, he ran the hell out of the boat and actually passed Twister and caught Wazzup. (American is in a different class. ) They battled with Wazzup until the very end and won. A great race......

That did look like a battle watching on Youtube.
