The Bros talk to Jeremy Tschida, owner/driver of the Super Stock team Wozencraft, who recently took their first checkered flag since starting the team in 2024. A longtime performance boating enthusiast with his many pleasure boats, best known for the family's duo of Outerlimits catamarans, the SC46 sterndrive machine, Topless and his matching SC37 outboard cat, the Tschida family are well known within the poker run community.

It wasn't until recently that he took the plunge and decided to go offshore powerboat racing. And he couldn't have picked a better throttlesman than the champion competitor, Julian Maldonado of Team Jackhammer fame. Both of their aggressive natures led them together and together they have been climbing the coveted podium spots.

Listen as Tschida explains how the team came about, their strategies for achieving success and his all-important home life that centers around his wife, Kristie and son, Tyler.

This is Jeremy Tschida.
