Bob,
As usual you were right, "Swap Shop" was owned and driven by Preston Henn....the boat ,as you know,was originally called "Streaker" # 9 .Those Bertrams were so cool!:cool:

They were cool 92 mph full of fuel and around 95 light. Vincentive was one also. Boy could they Chine walk.

Stan

I remember "Vincentive" #26 ; very sharp black 38 ft Bertram campaigned by Vince Fasano and the legendary Sammy James in the early eighties.You guys competed against that boat in the original "Popeyes" #37, a 37.5ft Cigarette right??

Hey Stan was'nt that Mike Saye with bill in Post 20? and have you heard anything of brother Mark?

Who out there remembers this boat?

Try again

???????? WHAT BOAT IS THIS????? looks stangely familiar. Haven't heard from Mike or Mark for years. I bet Denny Hejja would know. H just came to N.O. and bought the original Pan American Championship Winner the 30 ft Flight cat That Bill Sirois rigged. The boat was the original, not the original race. I had to qualify that or I WOULD be corrected.

Stan

1st Popeyes APBA boat, the race was in Biloxi, MS on April 1, 1977

And this one was taken about 30 seconds later:
