RACE WEEKEND - 6/8/13 - GOOD, BAD & UGLY

We provided towboats for the Lake Race 2013 over last weekend (June 8 & 9, 2013).  It was quite an event.  Our Towboats provided complimentary assistance to two (2) of the Race Boats and we ran quite a number of regular cases ranging from dead batteries, out of fuel, to burning. - -  All in all it was a pretty hectic weekend. - - -

THE GOOD - - -
Hey - Its a rough life  - - having to "watch" the Race Boats - -
but Somebody has to do it -  :-)
THE BAD - -
The "BATBOAT" was running a great race until it threw a blade off the
Port prop up in to the hull just past turn #4 - - -  
THE UGLY - - 
This 23ft Four Winns caught fire in the Big Niangua Saturday afternoon
All passengers made it off with NO injuries - - We recovered hull and removed it.

Atlantis Dive and Lake Tow LLC floated hull with lift bags
towed, trailered and transported to Camdenton
