Remember the speeds were a lot lower back in that era, and people just adjusted to learning how to ride in the boats, https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...7d8fcc1902.jpg Bolsters were far in the future. They just stood up and held on, if they could. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e6170f6c97.jpg Again, the main objective offshore racers had back then was to...FINISH. After that everything else fell into some order to make the boats faster and then safer. without getting hurt....Too often anyway!!! |
Quite the seating arrangement of the top right pic in the lower image(Mercruiser and Mercury sweep Miami-Nassau Race) in Post #71.....one ill prepared wave and the boat is in Nassau before the driver knows his partner is somewhere bobbing

Man Cave Signs
So I thought I got an alert from OSO about a thread mentioning boating related man cave signs. I searched, but couldn't find it, so we'll call this MCS 1.1

I know the Winona Van Norman sign is not strictly boating, but they do build my cylinder heads with it.

Since this thread is more focused on signs I'll throw this pic out there!

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...1b8e3edaf0.jpg Tim make those for you? What ever happened to that guy? Had him make a few signs and then he was having a rough time and then disappeared. Heard some people may have not gotten the product they ordered at the end. He had a good thing going. Pretty cool custom made metal signs however and whatever you wanted for SUPER good price. |
Not sure if it is the same guy but looks like he is sales through wake effects. I seen the same issues on FB with him than this popped up a couple weeks ago.
