Offshore races May 2, 3, 4 in New Jersey

One general statement, who the hell rebuilds a dead man's boat, especially if the dead man died on it? I always thought the white color on the Baker boat suited it.

Now, back to the fun...

After very little deliberation, I am definitely in on securing the sponsorship rights to have Phoebe splashed down the side of the boat, and of course, as depicted in Fast Times in a red bikini. I am sure Kevin wouldn't mind, since she hasn't done anything since 1989! Easy call over Sally, although I will always consider her the official spokesperson for the MPO cause. Maybe we can make her spokesperson-emeritus, and not show her current bio to anyone, anymore....eeewww.

As for the endurance runs. We need to work ourselves up to this with persistence and thorough diligence. I say a perfect trial run would be at the First Annual Gorge Offshore Classic. A good run to Chattanooga and back could certainly prove our metal in terms of equipment preparation and solidify the team. Especially with the heady competition from Bayliner Offshore Racing and Team Allison!

Next could be the Key West to Cancun Run. Hell if Reggie can do it in eight and change with a cruiser, we should be able to accomplish it in forty-eight. Could be a b*i*t*c*h* (automated board censor can bite me BTW) getting back, after we drink all of the tequila in Cozumel. Somebody make sure to hit the GPS breadcrumb feature on the way out, please.

One point of contention already though. I like Buzzi drives over Arnies....

Great idea - baby steps! I'm already wavering on the Arnies after the Skater threw a couple sets of blades. We'll probably need to establish a skunkworks to do some T&E. I'm running an SEI Alpha drive, seems to be a nice piece. Maybe they're looking to get into the offshore game with some sponsorships. Surely we can find some magic gear lube additive to double their HP and quadruple their torque capacity.

Based on your recommendation I reviewed Phoebe Cates' resume and body of work via a google image search. She's in. I'd hit that so hard that the first guy to pull me out would be crowned the king of England. Sorry Sally.

The Gorge Offshore Classic seems like an ideal icebreaker. And if by "solidify the team" you mean drink bushwhackers and Tito's until we forget our names and **** our pants that sounds like a good plan.
