Anyone who has raced offshore in the last 12 + years may recognize the name of Bob Owen as a race boat inspector in all the racing associations [APBA OSO OPA]. Before Bob wore that hat he & his family raced offshore in the early 70's. Here are a few pic's from my box of stuff of there Sundance race team a 19' Donzi St tropez.. Back in the day you could race this size Donzi, Monza & even a Sea Ray type of boat in a 60 to 80 mile offshore race, just hope your boat & body could hold up to the abuse. :eek::eek::eek:

Little Rebel Magnum
 

Back from the Florida reality trip, had a great time talking to some offshore greats like Bob Sheer, Sonny Miller, Cadillac Mcdaniels, John Henry Falk, Katrin & Harold from Magnum & Jack Stuteville. Bob Sheer let us take his colection of pic's from back in the day. We will be scanning them & posting some here on OSO. Here is one of Bob's cool pic's of his Little Rebel Magnum .

Sweet....:)

I Have been on that boat (Little Rebel) with Bob Sheer....He brought it down to the Keys one weekend to hang out with Brownie, David Gilmore and others. I think Brownie was still at Magnum then. I was just a little kid, maybe 10ish. But I remember Bob Sheer and his sandy blond hair (lookin like a porn star :) )

He still does !!!!! :evilb:

While down in Florida we went to the Lake Dora classic boat show, Bert had his collection of classic boats there, here is a pic of Bert's 60mph Fino with Arneson drives.:ernaehrung004:

SEE THEM BOLOGNA PIPES on the transom

Bob and his Mag !!!!

Don't forget about the custom mounted throttles on the chicken bars.
