Howard Custom Boats Wins Again!

It was for the 25' Bullet.That is true, Mike. Although I don't think the size was reduced because it was a 25 Bullet versus the 28 Bullet!

The magazine said that the Teague who does their testing and writing of boat tests is not the guy who builds the motors....

[RiverDave]

Powerboat says they are not related. The Teague who does the test driving and writes the reports is not the same Teague that builds the motors......
The guy in the pictures driving the boat looks amazingly like the guy that builds the motors.. LOL I'm pretty sure they are the same guy. On a different note though, I don't think Howard won that award becuase of their relationship with Teague. I think they won it becuase they put out a hell of a product.

Don't get me wrong, I think Howard makes a great product, but aquaintences always help.

[Panic Button]

Still a cool boat, but it usually is not what you know, but who you know...

Doesn't Bob Teague own a DCB? I'd think he'd be more prone to vote for DCB then wouldn't you? AH....I guess Bob says one thing and does another then. Hmmmm....his is the only vote too.

He probably pays rent to Gene for the building.
