Hey Mike!  The first post in this thread now has the up to date team list.  The two in yellow are TBD right now and I'm waiting to hear if they will be able to make it.  There is still one spot open as well for boat #25.

They are awesome!! Some key features: netting is coated so your hooks won't go through the strands and get caught, small weights mounted in the bottom of the netting so the net drops into the water instead of laying on top, super deep / huge circumference, very sturdy handle that won't bend or flex... Best net available by far!!

I agree. I got one last year and it is hands down the best net I have used
