SEEN BY THE SCENE
2013 Texas Outlaw Challenge
Gone Again at 171mph
Its official! The Texas Outlaw Challenge is now a nationally-recognized, must-attend poker run attracting boating enthusiasts from all over the country. The number of poker run registrations this year rose from 125 to more than 160 boats and the pre- and post-event coverage in national boating magazines also set a new high. Hats off to organizer Paul Robinson and his team of volunteers who have continued to add to the event each year with more events and attractions. New this year was the Texas Steel Horse Stampede and Texas Horsepower Car Show which when packaged with three different bikini contests gave those staying on land plenty to do. A highlight from this year’s event included former Houston Texas Defensive End Mario Williams taking delivery of his Marine Technology Inc. (MTI) 446 catamaran, “Big Bad Wolf” (pictured below), from Seabrook’s Bullock Marine. Possibly more impressive was the performance of the 32’ Skater “Gone Again” (pictured at left) which won the GPS Extreme Shootout with a run of 171mph. Mario Williams’ Big Bad Wolf
