With the Italian Michele Marelli Pepe raced the Venice Trophy with the same result:2nd in Class 2.
In 1981 the boat was sold to the 1980's Italian Champion Doc.Tommaso De Simone and then it was sold in England to Henry Hector that finished 2nd overall and 1st in Class II at the Spithead Trophy and Guernsey.

Long Shot
I pretty sure the Long Shot with the raised front deck in the front went to Chicago. I talked to Cashbrain about buying it in late 02 or early 03, not sure. Always wondered where it went.

This old stuff is so cool. I could read the old school boating mags and sites non stop. I think there should be a profile page for both a. old school boats, and b. old school drivers with profiles on their lives, careers and if they are still alive etc.
I'd love to know what happened to guys like Billy Martin, Art Norris, Dante Tagnoli etc.
Also, what happened to their boats
