    I was just a kid back when danny died but remember him like yesterday he would strap a 75 stinger on the back of one of his lil 15 or 16 ft v bottoms and just wear thear butts out at the Jacksonville out board club. I may be off a lil on the story of his death but do remember he was testing a new tunnle boat in Julington creek over in manderin. He all ways drove V bottoms and this was probably one of the first tunnels he drove but any how story has it he had tested several laps and was going to make just one more pass and left the dock with out a vest and the boat blew off. I was not there and its all second hand but that the story i heard truely a sad day for us guys in Jacksonvile. Danny was truly one of the good guys.

    This is about the way that it happened. He was at jerry's testing and did not have a jacket on. They did not find him for three days. It was a very bad day. I have often wondered what he would have been able to do. He was a very creative person.

    I have the pics but my scanner is not working i will post them as soon as i can get it to work.

    I lived there for 10 years and fished everywhere. you should not have any problems. most fishing is done in the rivers and streams for red drum and trout. several bays are also very good.

    The red boat in the pic is indeed a wood boat. Danny hardly ever lost a race in that boat. Looks like that pic was taken at the J.O.C. site. If anyone has anymore pics from the old J.O.C races I would be interested since I raced there several times.

    Getting jerry to talk about danny is not easy,

    that pic was taken at his house on julingtion creek, he says that was a glass boat poss the plug. Jerry made it very clear that danny never went out with out his jacket on, but once and that time he didnt come back. So please put them on.

    Also the boat that danny was testing that day was one of his v bottoms that he had cut down.

    This is a pic of Jeff Titus's SE boat that I found on another thread. ive been trying to compare them. The front almost matches ( you can see where it drops down right about next to where you sit) however the back on either side of the transom looks different. on the SE it is almost straight up with a slight angle towards the front of the boat, where as on my mold it goes up, has a 90 degree turn toward the front and then another 45. This is getting confusing
