Re: back in the dayss
Okay, I got no response in General Discussion about this . . . so maybe it'll yield something here 
What about a 26' Corsa named Johnny Red? Still around? Anyone have pics from then or now? Know anything about it? How about the 30' Image cat named Mad Mac? Or any of the other "circuit" boats from the 1980's and 1990's that were based in the Northeast? All of the Florida boats seem to be here already! Who has pictures from those days???
And most importantly, what ever happened to the original 32' Carys all named "The Cigarette" and used by Don Aronow in 1969 and 1970? Where did it go after Arnold Glass bought it? WHERE ARE ALL THE OLD RACEBOATS?!?!?
Maybe this will get it going again!

OK, I'm lost....is that white "powder" or "power"...........
Not sure what white power's got to do with boating, but white powder makes some sense...........

White power, blue power. Almost all the boats in the previous dozon or so pages have Merc power. I always swam upstream, using Holman and Moody Fords. In many races, I was the only non-Merc. Still won my share.
