Might get to see it in the water soon! Chris came home with Best of Show from Chattanooga. New Crackerbox. I think this one is Mike's.

Twenty Bucks is back! They don't look friendly either. Must be the hot glue on their feet. Another first. Diversified Recovery is operational and doing quite a job in recovering disabled boats.

Nice destroyer by Mike. Getting some telemetry from the Vac-U-Cracker. Tiny TV camera pointed at the Watt-Meter. Worked great!
