The Hull And Trailer Were Hijacked Over The Winter While I Was Repowering It

Iv'e Got Tons Of Old Stuff, Say Hi To Pops For Me

That Was A Kick A'' ' Hull. Probably The Best Little Boat In Rough Water I've Ever Been In. I Was In A Race{the Ill Fated Holiday Isles Of 81} We Were Leading The Sport Class By A Mile When My Hynotic Line Rubbed On The Gunnel And I Lost My Steering. There Were 28's And 35 Fters In The Race. All The Bigs Guns Were There.

Thanks
Angel

Butch I was at the race today in St Clair, ran into Larry Focht, he had some great stories. I was with the Motor City Magic team back then, and later bought Pete Smith's pleasure Active cat. Loved those old cat's, but how racing has changed today.
