Do you recall when Ian got hung up in his little Alison and pretty near drowned? I was the guy who fished him out of that boat. When he flipped his foot got caught in a zip tied loop of electrical cable which tied him to the motor end of the boat. I managed to unhook him from the boat and all was well. He was pretty blue by that time but breathing on his own.

Ian ran the SE a few laps then came in to talk before heading out for a few more laps. We watched him come down the back stretch and spectacularly blow over. We were all really lucky because Ian was not hurt and the boat landed upright after a complete 360. A family that was water skiing brought him in. Dad asked him what happened...Ian said that he hit the trim and it gained 2mph so he hit it again and it gained another 2. So he hit it again... Ian went on to very successfully campaign that boat before selling it to Danny Critchfield, who also blew it over testing.
