This boat was a very detailed project and it wouldn’t have come about without the incredible efforts of many people. I’d like to thank each and every one for all their hard efforts and patience, I for one appreciate it and feel it was well worth the effort.

Mercury Marine and Michelle Kilburn, Manager, Tournaments and Endorsements at Mercury Marine. 250 XS is one incredible motor.

Stroker Boats, especially Chubb’s and Alice. "They build one awesome boat" and my purchasing experience with them was truly a personal transaction. My time spent with them was like going to a family
reunion minus the fights!

Todd DeFilipps who has been a great friend and a true genious of a boat and motor builder. He can dream it and then actually build it.

Brent Holbrook for his over 1400 miles of R&D testing and setting up in the White Knuckles boat. He and his family have been so wonderful in opening their home to me so frequently.

Todd at Hydromotive Engineering, who works with me constantly tweaking and upgrading their fantastic propellers.

Berkley/Pure Fishing who are my tackle sponsors.

Matt Newman and Irods my new rod sponsors. Rods designed by the pros for the pros but, at a reasonable cost.

Titus Grisham from Custom Marine & Welding, for such an incredible job working my gear case and rigging of the boat. The boat drives unreal and I knew he’d make it faster than the stock case.

Bob Bourget at USA Marine who keeps the boat and motor in top shape with his excellent service.

Sign Zoo in Florida who actually made the graphics. Thanks for you’re bringing the design to life.

My wife, Deborah Delany for all the graphic art work and design. She inspired me to take the direction I did with the graphics and I can’t thank her enough for that let alone the work she did to make it a reality.

Finally, but most importantly, I’d like to thank my son Luke,
my little buddy, who’s cause this boat mainly embodies. I could never imagine having to struggle to communicate and learn the way he does on a daily basis, yet he remains eager to learn and has such a happy and loving personality. I am marveled by his growth and how far he has come and look forward to his hopefully some day fully over coming his disorder of Autism. Luke you make me proud each and every day.

I Love you!
