Chuck, Dave has been my trusted First Officer, bowman and crew boss for many many years. I can talk to him about coming down to Atlantic City to race on your boat, but, for starters, I think he'll need suite accommodations at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa and $200 in casino chips for each race.
And don't forget about my finder's fee. All the best, Edd Edd M.
