Always loved that boat - had no idea he had passed. RIP.

Any idea where & what Bill Elswick's doing these days?

7X Champ told me that he saw him at the Miami boat show last year, but I bet that Kathy Latham would probably know how to get a hold of him. I owe her a call. Bill was a strong competitor and a really, really nice guy!

Jerry Jacoby won the Worlds at Key West 1981, then won the 1982 U.S. National Championship. For 1983, same boat, new name, and new number US-1.

Here the lacking picture in the sequence above:
Key West 1981

Looks like Key West.....if we had any sense among us, we'd bought that chunk of island in the background instead of boats!.........some pricey digs sittin' on that wasteland now!!

Great shot of Long Shot ~1981. Rumor Control has it that it was restored & living in the Virgin Is.

One more of Long Shot racing on the Detroit River.

I AM THE OWNER OF LONGSHOT. IT WAS RESTORED LAST YEAR WITH TWIN 700s AND #3 DRIVES AND RUNS 88 MPH. IT IS LOCATED IN TORTOLA, BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS.

Do you have any current photos?
