Weren't Doug Janish and Bill Sirois partners in an engine building company in the 1970's named Black Widow?

I knew I remembered that correctly. They built my dad's modified motors in 1976 for his 28' Maltese Magnum. Fast!
There was a story about them checking out the Stadium races then showing up with a black Widow powered boat with an outdrive killed the field with Bill driving. Dougs motors were real good. |

Other race boats were "Boogie Bear" and "Big Green Machine". They were great rough water boats. There were a few 40' Corsa raceboats, "Copper Kettle" and "Challange". Don't know anything else about their history.
An old 30' is/was sitting behind a car dealership in Brick NJ, don't know if it is/was for sale. |
Rich,
You're right. The boat was "Big Red Machine" , the green boat I was thinking of was the "Adjuster". |
