Default a little "pre-banana" history
Here's some real early pictures!!! I thought you guys might enjoy seeing some of these.

These are from a 67-mile Outboard Marathon held on August 20, 1961.

The winner of Class 1 - Charlie McCarthy in #6 ; "Hot Head"

He also used to waterski race with "Tina Too". He was one of the first certified barefoot waterskiers in the 60's...
