Default El Boss

Looking for anyone with media of the old El Boss, Willy Diaz, boat. Videos, pictures, press, a good story, anything. Trying to put something together for the old man. Extended family has mishandled his personal effects while "away" and I would love to be able to give him kind of collection to kinda make up for what was lost. Hope you guys can help

Thanks

One of my favorite race boats ever. There is some really good footage of him on the videos that I ordered from HORBA.

I have a VAST collection of old tapes (some beta) that are being upgraded to new technology. I'll see if during the process scenes of your dad can be graffted into a seperate tape for you.

Give your dad my best.

Here are a few shots of "EL BOSS." I probably have some more that I will have to scan next week. It's a shame that some of his personal effects are missing. Willy was an awesome competitor! Good luck.
