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.
Sideways? Do you mean chine walk and then catch an edge? Can't be any worse than spinning out in a Sport C (LOL)Quote:
