Morg, thanks for posting the thread link up here. Ric Roche is my cousin and is the one responsible for my hot boat sickness. He's been a boater all his life and raced in UGH and BGH back in the 70's and 80's. I always wanted to grow up just like him! He bought his last hydro about 5 years ago for lake use(and to cling to his misspent youth, I always teased!).
I'd like to a bunch of you Hot Boat V-Drive guys at the tournament! It would certainly be much appreciated by the family!
