We would run on the same weekend as the offshore races, but on courses that were about 75 miles long. Crew would be driver and throttleman or navigator.

Boats would be set up for simplicity....all stock components.
It was to be powered with a single sterndrive and all the boats would weigh within a few pounds of each other.

WHAT HAPPENED?? Jimmy Carter, the oil crisis, and 22% interest rates.

What do you think....are these lines still good looking today?
