I remember seeing "Lil Rebel" in Lake George a week after the Benihanna and it had Plexiglass engine covers. As a kid, I thought this was so kool to see the engines! Does anyone have pics of the after-market engine hatches?

Jeff & I have the pic's of Bob's Maltese Magnum with the Plexiglass covers. Bob told me Magnum Marine used his Maltese Little Rebel for a few boat shows because of the clear hatches, we will post them when Jeff gets them scanned.

I grew up near Port Huron, and got hooked on these boats in the 70's. I'm loving all of the great pics, thanks so much for sharing & bringing back some great memories!

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 .

Just got back from looking through all of Bobby's pictures from back in the day, and WOW, what an absolute amazing historical offshore racing treasure!!!!.........except for the shoes.:party-smiley-004:

Did Jack have a Cowboy Hat on??? I remember working at Cougar on his Aluminum 38' (The Collection) and he always had his hat :) Oh, and his Hot Blond wife :)

Didn't see a pic with the cowboy hat but the one with Preston Henn flipping somebody off was pretty funny.

I was the driver and engine builder of the A911 Velocity. It was a 366ci small block. That boat was a hand full and yes AJ had big ones on the thottle and tabs. Those were great times.

I would like to get some old vintage style t-shirts, maybe from an old race. Anyone know where to get these?
