Bringing back some memories
There were a couple of names that Timucin, Jesse James, and Steve1 mentioned: Fayva, Systems, El Boss, Sea Hawk. I was just a little kid when they were big.
I have pictures of the Fayva boat when it won the 76' race in Freeport LI. Nice close up pictures because they didn't have the rules that they do now. My father took rode along the racecourse and my mother took pictures with a Telephoto lens. It was so rough that one of the Cat's (can't remember the name?) split open, and the driver died.
I grew up looking at these pictures because I was too young to remember, but looking at those pictures over the years is what really got me into boating.
I remember the Systems and Sea Hawk boats from the Mid to late 80's I think? I have it on video racing in the Key West race. I think the Systems boat was a Plywood boat?
If I have the time I will dig up the pics. and post a few.
