1953 Winnebagoland Marathon

[buff5]

Does anyone have the finish place for the B class boat # B-93 which ran a Martin 200 outboard?. Might have been posted in the book about this race by Richard Walbrun??, titled "The Great Boat Race"
Thanks

I don't (I do know some guys who raced the marathons) but the book is $3 (used - like new) on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1432722484/ref=tmm_pap_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&sr=1-1&qid=1433697465

Try this August 1953 motorboating magazine, page 120:

https://books.google.com/books?id=cd_WNyYquV4C&lpg=PA119&ots=xpVqmh8SFi&dq=1953%20Winnebagoland%20Marathon%20results&pg=PA120#v=onepage&q=1953%20Winnebagoland%20Marathon%20results&f=false

Although B-93 is not listed in the top ten finishers, maybe it's in the text somewhere. If the above link is too convoluted / gets corrupted, try this short link to the same place: https://goo.gl/CYmc4s

Thanks guys, I know he finished & was in the inspection area waiting to be inspected. I dont know about how many were inspected, but I would think only the first 10 boats in each class?
