my friend RANDY RABE is in the hospital. He will love all internet messages. Please post motivational mssgs. Most of U were not racing w/ us in 1973, but I will soon post pictures of boats built by us w/ up to 6 outboards. Randy's designs are the current panteras etc. for those who don't know. We sponsored many races in the past and may in the future. THANK YOU!!!!

Get well Randy, I lived in Pt Pleasant back in 73 and rode my bike to the races. I bet I know all the boats you post

Best wishes Randy. Boat racing makes us all family. Good luck.

on behalf on Randy, Rabco powerboats from the old days, and myself- THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND CONSIDERATION!!!!!!! it worked guys and my bro is out!!!! Maybe a bit soon (too tough like all of us), but out of the hospital. You all do not know alot about my bro and he is too proud to admit. This is what powerboat racers are or can be made of!!! sorry if I am wordy. Bacause you wanted pictures, I will soon put up a link for 7,000 pictures of the 21,000+ pictures/slides that son Parker/family/friends have picked through for everbody.

History-if I screw up don't kill me-I'm stressed bro's

Randy was (if not the ) one of the first people ever to barefoot backwards-see the waterski hall of fame web site for achievements

Did you know a world champion powerboat racer was on the Ed Sullivan show the night the Beetles made their debut. He was there bec. he was part of team that skied from here in st. Pete to NYC for the worlds fair-thats a long ski run. Truth be told- he hung out w/ them-a jock (future world champ powerboat racer) & thought a bunch of certain musicians might not be as popular as racers. Oops-Sir Paul.

I have a hundred more stories of inspiration. Will post later!!! What most people do NOT understand is that most of us are giving & good peoplel!! The cost on us, for the fans, & often for charity/good cause!!!! Sorry to PREACH-bad/good day.

THANK YOU!!!!!!
