That's bizarre. Is the steering bar really out in front of the motor?


https://live.staticflickr.com/4094/4796920784_62d442b9cb.jpg

[2us70]

I always kept the steering bar ends even with the center of the swivel pin on the motor. On heavier motors you needed to add braces to maintain stiffness.

I loved this class of racing. I always disliked classes that required a second person in the boat except F runabout. In most of the other two person classes the second person was just ballast. In F runabout both guys were working together to get the boat around the course. I rode as passenger in FS class OPC boats several times and I hated it.

Look magazine does a 1960 cover story on Mercury Lake X.

Power Cat endurance test boat is featured on magazine’s cover and, one of “Golf’s Toughest 18 Holes” is not.


496981

[Lake X Kid]

That Merc needed a head of steam first to get 11 (or more) girls/women out of the water.

Slack tow-lines, and then the boat goes WOT, gets on plane, and then yanks the lines tight and plows ahead until the girls/women get up on their skies.

Would any of you guys know what hull this is? Obviously a hydro of some sort, but I sure can't place it. Front half looks Sanger, rear half is kinda Jones-ish...

I agree. If I recall correctly we pulled up 8 (small) adults with 75hp for a show

Weren't they 4 points?

[Mugs914]

Weren't they 4 points?

The one in the pic is definitely a four pointer (you can see the two rear sponsons at the transom), but, as I said, I'm not that familiar with the racing Powercats. I would assume that only the twins would be four point. The 17H singles were three points...

[Mark75H]

Pretty sure the 4 point Powercat was rare variation of the hydro

These are photos of the 4 Point hydro made by PowerCat.
This boat was develeoped in Texas about 1964 and was made only in limited numbers
before the plant burned in 1966. This version of the hydro was a progression of the previous
3 point design and was designed more as a marathon boat for rougher water conditions.

Wow Bob! Thanks very much! Great info...

[2us70]

The boats Wally and Paul ran were not actual PowerCat 4 pointers. Some body built these boats based on the PowerCat bottom with a much different deck design. I think maybe 4 or 5 of them were built. The next year tunnels took over. Wally ran a Dutchman and Paul a Galsstron Molinari.

[RogerH]

Technically speaking ALL of the Switzer Wings are 4-point hydros...with a tunnel/wing. The air dam between the two planing surfaces is very deep, at around 7". Tried to find a picture, but Diablo was all black and you can't see squat under one of them. The 18' and 20' designs were generally the same bottom.

I didn't know this picture had escaped into the wild. Taken in the spring of 1966 I think. I would be 19 there. This boat is probably both the last flat bottom made by Nick Chapman and the last one to run in SE class. I ran this boat all the way into 1968. By then v-bottoms and tunnels had taken over.

Jeff Titus has a "good" story about Wally's Dutchman. It was the first tunnel Jeff ever drove. Also the first he blew over...all in the same day. Wally was indisposed when the twin Dutchman was rigged so his dad asked Jeff to test and set it up with him at the Stadium. First run it was stuck, so they went out 1 tilt pin-hole. Still stuck, another pin-hole. Now it is freed-up and running great! As Jeff passed a B-hydro that was also testing that day, he noticed he was looking down at it. And over he went! He had some internal bruising but wasn't seriously hurt. There are pictures of that day somewhere...of the boat, and Jeff on a stretcher.

The Dutchman tunnels were tricky. Seems like they were either stuck or real loose followed by the dreaded "Dutchman stumble". I am pretty sure Wally ran that boat until he went away to college. Then he just diapered.
Jeff Titus has a "good" story about Wally's Dutchman. It was the first tunnel Jeff ever drove. Also the first he blew over...all in the same day. Wally was indisposed when the twin Dutchman was rigged so his dad asked Jeff to test and set it up with him at the Stadium. First run it was stuck, so they went out 1 tilt pin-hole.
