Rick Conklin is his name. If I remember correctly, he has the boat for sale now. But like Eric said, I haven't seen him post much since before the Ft. Rucher race.:thumbsup:

yep thats Rick he had the boat fixed and is running it in the 10 second class this year. That was a scary moment for sure I was on the holding rope and watched it happen from the starting line.

Rick had 2 boats made that were very similar in color his first boat did run at smokin in the cove last year.

This boat has a new deck and is yellow.

The crash gave Rick a black eye and a cut on his arm. I'm pretty sure that is all that happened to him. He was his usual happy talkative self on the way home that weekend.
