Re: Save the Old Race Boats

Great to see something like this. It's long overdue. Hopefully some guys can have some fun and old race boats will find new appreciative owners.

Keep it fun.

...Oh boy, I can see Wes hunting for a classic race boat already.

He's been known to buy a boat or four.

Thank you very much, this is exactly the type of event we are looking for. We want people today to be able to own and enjoy a race boat without having to own a bank to operate it.

New Jersey was such a big part of the history of this sport, many of these boats will bring back great memories to your fan base there.

I accept your invitation and look forward to working out the schedule of dates for our members.

Re: Save the Old Race Boats

This is great idea!!!!!!

I'm involved in vintage sports car racing and I've wondered how long it would take before something similar would happen with offshore.

To be honest......I have almost no interest in offshore racing or the boats today. I do however have VERY MUCH interest in the old stuff from the 60', 70's and early 80's.

Thanks again and I'd love to be involved.
