THATS IT!!! Man, my memory really sucks...It's got Bertam all over it. I do clearly remember the staggerd snorkels. Hell, when I worked on the boat I was crawling up the bow pulling hose, in the hole running wire, etc. etc. Never paid attention to all the sponsor or mfg logos. I built engines and mounted drives. Didn't care about much of the rest. I always saw her on the trailer, or her insides, her drives, cutting my leg on one of the clevers (still have the scar), or the view from the bolster. I can't believe it was 30 years ago already. Thanks for the pic. Still haven't found any of mine yet.

catfish, are you Errol? You might not remember me. I was just a punk 18 year old back when I started racing in 1984. I raced the red Chris Cat Smokey and the Bandit and the Skater Renegade. You and Bob were always great to me and always gave me encouragement. In fact, when I had my accident in 86 in Grand Haven, Bob was one of the first people I ran into at the marina after leaving the hospital. He was in his Porsche with Sal Magluta, and they both joked around with me and told me that I looked like I was hit by a bus.
