Consider this sohw like your first race, use it as a learning experience if you don't get a trophy but even then you're going ot learn what it takes to wun there.
The past few years the boat categories have really come into their own in a show dominated by planes. When one takes the coveted Best of Show AND Best Finish you know that somebody has done something really special. I've seen workmanship there that would drive most people insane trying to do. Others will literally put years into a project just to compete once.
The boat and owner to watch out for is Jack Kipfer. People have been trying to beat that old guy for years. There are a lot of people that would love to see someone take him down, even for just one year. Josh Stolfuss was close last year with his beautiful wood hydroplane. It's too bad as Josh actually raced that boat after the show but unfortunately rekitted it during a race.
