2004 was a fantastic year for powerboating and our community. I was able to attend more events, meeting more people and witnessing firsthand how great the people of this forum and the powerboating community as a whole are.
Balz To The Wall (http://forums.screamandfly.com/Gallery/showgallery.php/cat/3049) was an event that was just amazing, and taking part in the charity auction for the Alzheimer's Association was an incredible feeling. The Rondack Romp (http://forums.screamandfly.com/Gallery/showgallery.php/cat/3047) was nonstop boating and fun, and the lake runs were great.
Of course, we were also very excited about our Brucato PCU tests (http://www.screamandfly.com/home/evaluations/brucato_pcu_part_2/pcu_part_2_1.htm) and the filming for the Marine Machines series. The ODBA Jasper World Championship (http://forums.screamandfly.com/Gallery/showgallery.php/cat/3067) race proved again that powerboating can be a fantastic spectator sport for everyone, and the racers are just first class. We also witnessed the unveling of the world's first supercharged outboard engine (http://forums.screamandfly.com/Gallery/showgallery.php/cat/3031), and this year should continue to be interesting as the Yamaha's HPDI, Evinrude E-Tec and Mercury's OptiMax battle it out for the next generation of 2-stroke engines. We'll be at Miami again this year with even more coverage of products from these engine manufacturers.
A big thanks to our sponsors (http://www.screamandfly.com/home/associates.htm), who have played a big role in making this all possible for us here at Scream And Fly. Of course, the biggest thanks goes out to you, our members. This is a site by you, and for you, so keep those suggestions coming!
