This picture was taken at this same race. Freeport 1979 and shows ( 2 ) 28' Panteras and ( 1 ) 24 ' Pantera . One 28' was raced by my Father called Pantera , the other 28' was called Bad Temper , and the other 24' Pantera was called Slingshot.

P-124 were taken in 1980.

M-24 24' Pantera my Father set the Miami To New York outboard record with in 1978 and Night Moves owned by Billy Elswick at Lake X in 1978. It later became the base for Performer boats here in Ft. Lauderdale.

The other picture shows Betty Cooke in the Kaama race boat and My Father in M-24 going out the cut at the Pt. Pleasant Benihana race in 1978.

The 3rd picture shows Marshall Ives P-21 turning Macho a 24' Pantera at a Miami race in 1979.

Hey Jo:

Found this...it's from the '79 Benihana.(?) My dad's boat blew an engine the morning of the race so he went up in the helicopter instead and took this of your dad.
