We lost two really good guys doing what they were passionate about...

[Double Rigged]

Yes, when Ron told me about it this morning, I felt horrible. I didn't know Garth, other than Jim always talking about him. Those two guys will be missed, and I personally will miss talking to Jim every now and then about our outboard boats. My condolences to their friends and family. I want to at least share a pic of Jim having fun with his boating friends - he is on the left in the white shirt, next to my girlfriend at the time, Rik from Arneson, and Jim's buddy Mike (who also had a 28 w/ Xs) and his girlfriend. Godspeed buddy, you guys will be missed..........

Me too Dale, Talked to Jim many times and he was always will to share what he knew when we spoke about the 28's. He was really looking forward to the engine project they had going with the 3.0 liters.
They for sure will be missed. It has been a tough year in offshore this year. Still cannot believe it.
Just hurts.

First time I met Garth was 2010 at LOTO Shootout with my 28. Garth came by the dock and we talked boats he really loved the 28 Skaters. I got to spend time over a few beers in August at the LOTO Shootout with Garth and Jim at the Camden pool bar. Both were great guys

Prayers for his family what a tragic loss.

I was unknowingly sent the link before going to bed last night, ugh horrid thing to watch. RIP Garth and Jim.

[RUM RUNNER 305]

This is very sad.... RIP to the guys who went doing what they love to do..

I too knew Jim
I spoke to Jim and his son a few times about coming down to Miami to link up so we could do the Key West Poker Run sometime in his 28 Skater, which in my opinion is the Baddest 28 ever built! and one of the boats that inspired me to get a Skater.(His boat was my screansaver on my office computer for years) He was a great guy and will be missed.


Prayers to both of the families
