Glastron-Molinari Racing Suits
I looked at the original letter sent from Glastron's sales manager (Ernest J. Schmidt) to prospective buyers and it notes: "There are two boats available for racing; an 18' single engine for $2,200., f.o.b. California, and a 21' twin engine for $2,700.00. This price includes the boat and bucket seat, less steering. Also included are three sets of racing jackets and coverall, plus a rigging installation booklet which is available at time of delivery."
We can presume that the Glastron Molinari racing jump suit in the back of your closet is one of the three that came with the boat.
Very cool.

I'll bet mine doesn't even fit as well as "Highwater's" does at this point. I was about Reggie's size at the time...

Jock was one of the good guys back then and a pretty fair race boat driver as well. Last I heard he was living in Georgia.

I had the chance to test in a couple of those glass Molis set up for SJ back then. I found them to be very good especially in rough water. They weren't as fast as some of their competitors like Doug Perl's Scorpions but in a marathon they went pretty well. I would have liked to have raced one at least once.

Whatever happened to Doug? I remember that ponytail flowing behind his helmet as he passed by!

Doug got hurt pretty badly testing. Last I heard he was still working in the family business. They own " Uniweld" welding products and supplies.
