Missle
Hope this works; scroll down to rocket's post on the link below.
Is this one too? Yes probably a splash.

The guy told me it was a "Carrera"!
This boat killed a guy at SITC about 6 years ago! He went through the traps at 118MPH upside down!
How do I copy a pic from another post and paste it here?
Thanks. Smitty

If you'd like to see some video of your boat back when it raced, go to this link
http://www.assist.neptune.com/#
Then go to #39 (David M Potter) and pick the Northwest Racing 1971 - 72
Shows your boat with two engines. I can't tell what they are, but they look like they have speedmasters.

The Barracuda appears to be a splash of the Dutchman with some obvious changes. The Dutchman version was raced with twin Merc 1250's. The boat on the left with twins is a Dutchman.
Just recently picked up a Barracuda.Last edited by Old fiberglass; 10-22-2007 at 12:35 PM.

A little more to the story is Jan Schooover is driving the Dutchman. Jan got the red T40 wing, (made in 1966) on loan from Mercury when it was brand new. Ran it at Saltan Sea in 1967 and Havasu ~ 1967. Bob Massey got it from Mercury when Jan turned it back in to them. In the picture Bob is running against Jan in it. Just a bit of trivia.

I had the same boat..... BEWARE
Oregon Barracuda:
Interesting to see your post here on your 1970 Barracuda, I had this exact same boat. Same year, everything. By the way, I grew up in Oregon racing stock outboards. Just yesterday I posted a thread on Boat Racing Facts in the "Show Us Your Boat" section.
I live in Fairbanks, Alaska and this boat was originally purchased by a local car dealer new. He kept it on a nearby lake where it spent many years I am told. Pretty sure he had an inline 6 on it. It changed hands a couple times later on, and eventually, I saw an ad in the paper for the boat, complete with a Merc 150 V6 with parts engine. I bought the works for $1700 and started the restoration. It was in rough shape. Rather than rewrite everything I will give you the link to my post at:
http://www.********************/forum...ead.php?t=5452
I can see the experts here have chimed in here, so I won't add much. My "little voice" in my head is what kept me from seeing what the boat would do. I never went over 70 with it. After getting spooked I sold the boat but would not sell the engine with it, the buyer put a 90 on it, perfect combination I think.
Anyway, here is a photo of "Miss Barraduda".

Gemini;
If you don't mind me asking, who are you ?? I lived in Spicewood from 1980 to 1988 Spicewood Beach. I drove for Glastron from 1968 to 1971.
Worked with Harold Wilderson. Do you know "Meatball Murry"??

The first paragraph of this article indicates at least one Barracuda was raced with twin 125's back in the day.
