Big thanks to Tea SG56 for some awesome work!

Tea helped me out with a secret Christmas present for Dr. Tom. She did an absolutely incredible job. The look on Dr. Tom’s face when he opened it was priceless!! Thank you again!!

The story behind the boat is a long one that started with a scallop hunting trip with Dr. Tom and Holly when I was down there for a long weekend. Tea and her husband have a business wrapping cars, motorcycles, making stickers, advertising stuff, etc., so I asked if she could wrap a remote control boat. She could, so I sent pictures of Dr. Tom's IMSA car and she wrapped the boat to look like it. It was a close call, but got it there in time to put under the tree. Holly and Tommy Jr. knew what it was, saw pictures, and messed with him big time leading up to Christmas. He was very happy with it and the attention to detail. As most know, he is very detail oriented.

Looks great! For a second there I though Tom switched from driving Porsches to boats.

I think you’re an enabler for offshore superboat racing, Chad!

Nice gift but it comes with a risk...

The IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup cognoscenti are ready to pounce on you the next time you’re in the paddock.
