Josh Hirsch from Maryland willing be chartering Steve Kopf’s second boat: USA 489. Steve will be sporting his brand-new, direct from Zenda thrill ride: Hull 773. And just this minute Stuart McNay from New England registered!
Editor’s Note: Team PAGAN Racing accidentally registered twice. So there’s one less boat than shown on the list of entries. 53 Listed – 1 = 52 actually registered. We’ll clean up this accounting issue soon.
