Hi there I am looking for my Marika the L21 mullet boat. Does anyone know where she is. My great grandfather Spot Riley you to race her. I would love to see if she is still around and hopefully by it off the owner.

For those interested in mullet boats, they are stll alive and well and racing with the PCC. They are racing up to Riverhead on Saturday and always make a spectacular sight anchored in the river. A good excuse to go there for a beer.
