Is this a Glastron Moli 21 twin converted to KT power?

Is this a Glastron Moli 21 twin converted to KT power?

Yes, KT 6 is a converted twin outboard run out of the Nordskog Competition Center in Van Nuys, Ca. It was generally driven by Ted May. I've always thought it was the boat Johnny Sanders raced at the OWC in Havasu in 1969, but have no proof. Just a gut hunch because of Bob Nordskog's close relationship with OMC.

No - Toll booth to keep the riff raff off Boca Grande - like $5 to cross the bridge. We took a group from various boat companies out to the Gasparilla Inn one night for supper - because we didn't have ties on they let us in through a side door.

Yup.............you could also run any number you wanted to as long as the scorers knew which actual number to assign points to in the race results. Always thought that 4 digit numbers assigned in OPC category was rediculous. IOGP made us run single or two digit numbers for the sake of appearance. Always got reminded by Art Kennedy who the number 2 really belonged to.............Number situation with the APBA got really out of hand when owners / drivers who were not racing anymore were allowed to keep their numbers by just renewing their membership. Took an act of God just to get a 2 digit for OPC racing that was legit from the APBA. :(

That wouldn't explain the picture, 'Driver Earl Bentz' was painted on the boat which indicates that at some point it had been assigned to Earl. The race numbers are stick on numbers so they could be changed at any time. A batch of numbers, zero through nine, were kept in the parts truck.
A wild guess would be that Seebold damaged his boat before this race and the only hull available for him was one that had been previously raced by Bentz ..... stranger things have happened.

Some time ago we were wondering where was Seebold's first race for Merc. He sent me an email with the answer but I can't find it. I posted his answer on S&F, but can't find that either! Do you remember where it was, maybe Havasu 69?

I think it was Parker-1970--

It was GG's first race after the 69 Thanksgiving massacre

Bill was introduced as the 7 Litre driver of Long Gone--and impressed everyone with a 100 mph lap in the Jones--

Only 51 years ago!!

Morgan City was 1972 .... Old Blue II running a C6, believe it was his 1st win.

I do remember Seebold told me his first company ride was with a co-driver named Woods and that Woods ran into someone (Nordskog maybe) shortly after getting behind the wheel. So Havasu 69 sounds right for his first Team drive and Parker 70 was next with the new APBA numbers. I think that was a 20' Jones.

The Jones at Havasu 1970 .....

Yes. Basically a J production boat with an extra person and an engine height restriction. When I worked at Action Marine we built a few boats for this class. I did a couple of races in the "mechanics" seat in those things. Hated it! With that big club lower unit buried in the water they had a habit of going sideways with no warning.

There was an Evinrude dealer is South Miami by the name of Ed Mead. Ed rigged his FS class Hydrostream with full dual controls. He named the boat "Drivers Ed". He ran it like that a few times then sold the hull to Tommy Chandler.

J Production class. Definitely at Marine Stadium. Those big Hydrostreams were popular in this class. Very forgiving and pretty easy to drive. I think the Allisons were faster but harder to drive well. Olegator ran one of the 15' Hydrostreams in JP. Very fast. Called it " Ragged but Right"

Is Mercury giving out free khaki shorts/pants too. So everyone has a uniform look at the press party.

Introduced at the New York boat show in 1954 & became available for racing that year. I set the 1st 5 mile competition record at the Divisionals in Syracuse, NY winning, then placed 4th at the nationals in Depere, WI. 15 years old

Take a digital copy (from Fuji post) to your local 3-color printer and he/she should be able to print it for you.
But I am not saying it will be affordable, when you only print a few copies.

If you look closely at the 75H, you see the midsection and gear case aren’t correct. I think the ad was ahead of production. No biggie and still a great ad.
