D avid Stephens lives in Saline<br />
County, MO, just a couple of<br />
miles south of the Missouri<br />
River and only a couple of hours<br />
north of the Lake of the Ozarks. It's<br />
no surprise that he's the kind of guy<br />
who likes to spend a lot of time with<br />
his boat.<br />
But this is not pleasure boating<br />
