Re: Save the Old Race Boats
Gentlemen the 43' Scarab called the 5 boat is at double r in Canada. This is the old race boat the Gentry broke the speed recorder in 93 at 126 & change. I had it bought for a 100k but then got to the insurance issue wich was over 500 bones a month. It wasn't worth it to me but it's a way cool boat with trip 1100's & #6's.

Ran a little faster but sure was more fun to try and get to go straight with it riding on the center step and no water to the drives. Rough water was a bigger treat with it bouncing on all four corners. Then I made it a flower pot on Don's property next to Cigarette.................. AC |

If so, yes, Willy Myers who was my navigator, crewed on one that competed in the Round Britain race...it was a slug. |

Someone need to get in touch with this guy. He's somewhere in NJ and a bit concerned that Ben wants his boat back.
