Eventually the boat was sold and became "Outlaw" and was stolen out of East Dover Marina. |
Here are some of Gazpacho. |

Thanks H2O!
The owner of "Gazpacho" Joe Barro, was very nice to me as a kid, and let me ride on his boat during a parade.

Ran into this informative thread and it sounds like theres a bunch of downriver, michigan guys on here. Anyone remember a guy named Wayne Files? He made a few very strange fiberglass cats at a warehouse on Biddle Ave(which burned down)., and lived on GI? I remember this was about 1980ish?

H20,
Yes it is the same team-Rich Tropolli. I think Rich last raced the Fountaine "Rio Roses".
I believe Tim Sharkey, (aka Sharkey Marine Images) raced in the Mirage with Rich.
I think the Mirage later raced as "Finish Line".

Actually, I think it was "Finish Line" first, then became "Shockwave" when the Finish Line guys bought a Chris-Cat. |

Before it was Gazpacho it was Great Adventure.
Raced one race in California, stuffed it & ripped the deck off.
Was sold to Joe Baro.
Great Adventure Team then moved to Sutphen 1978. |
