Just checked in with Mike Fiore of Outerlimits Offshore Boats in Bristol, R.I. Earlier today, Fiore agreed to bring and pilot a boat at the July 17 Shore Dreams for Kids event in Seaside Heights, N.J.

“I’m bringing a 44-footer down there,” said Fiore. “I think it’s the second or third time I’ve done it. It’s a wonderful event.”

That’s good news for the annual charitable event, which provides a day of boat rides for mentally and physically challenged children and adults, because the organizers—most notably the New Jersey Performance Powerboat Club—are a little short on boats this year.

In related—but equally good—news, Tony Frisina, the owner of Spectre Powerboats and Chris Cestaro of Ocean Performance, are teaming up to provide rides in several Spectre models at Shore Dreams.

“We are still looking for boats,” said Dave Patnaude, NJPPC president.
