Mark:
Great stuff, thanks for sharing,
Some of the rarest Power Cats in there
A 17h 3pt, a 18h 4pt, and a 15x..
One shot of the 18h that I have wanted for
some time, shows the shape of the tunnel
in the back... First photo ever I have found
that shows what I needed to know..
Mucho thanks,
Danny LegerLast edited by Powercat; 10-07-2007 at 12:56 PM.

Greg Amluxen really knew what to take pictures of ... anyone recognize the motor in picture #294?
The boat in picture # 261 ... looks like what I was told about this one was WRONG ... it certainly appears to have raced at least once, even if it DNF'ed
Lots of very interesting boats, very cool technical pics that most people just don't take. There is a lot very rare and one of a kind stuff in these pictures.
I wish I knew what half of the weird boats were ...

Sam:
Looks like an opposed 6cyl with rocker arm covers..
Maybe a Corvair mounted on a Merc tower?? Probably not
though as it doesn't look big enough .. What other pancake
6's were from that era?..

It is a Corvair. Without the cooling fan and shrouds the motor is actually small.
Good job!

This stuff is exactly my vintage. The SE boat # E-18 is much like the boats I started racing in. These pictures show the number and diversity of boats in OPC in those days.

Boy! those pictures sure bring back memories of the old days...... Funniest part, it also reminded me of just how much cock-a-mamie junk was on the race course in the day.
It's amazing that any people survived that era at all......
T2x20 Foot Switzer Wing 2 X S3000 (Dust'n the Wind II)
!6 foot Wood Eltro Vee (2X Merc 1500's) (Dust'n the Wind IV)
15 foot Powercat 15C (2 X Merc 1500) (Dust'n the Wind III)
(Single engine boats are lacking something
)
15’ Wooden Switzer Shooting Star...
16 foot Lee Craft Merc S 3000-(Gold Dust II)
(The exception proves the rule)
Obsolete and Proud of it

We were all still guessing back then. I was down on bucks most of the time in those days and always looking for racing opportunities so I wound up trying to drive some of that "cock-a-maimy junk". I was fortunate never to have been hurt driving those "diverse" boats but I did have my most frightening moments in them.
