In 1984 I was way past 50, pretty old, cranky, kinda busted up---and I was talked ($$$$) into another 'Challenge-'
"It will be fun" they said-----:nonod:

Remember the bad accident out testing in Stuart when two people lost their life. I think it was during the Bristol Race in England 1982, remember calling Ric McChesney from Bristol to find out if he was OK or not. Ric was the third person on board when the boat crashed.
I think the "Assault on the Mississippi" was 1982.
Not sure what they did 1984..??
The #83 boat in the picture must be a different boat because its rigged with 3 X production Johnson V8 3.6 liter engines. First available late 1984 early 1985.
Please let us know your story LANHAM and thanks for clicking in here.
Richie Powers had a few posts on another site talking about the boat with the 3 f1 offshore engines.
He did a few races and was very impressed. With very little development is was competitive with the class 1 boats at about 100mph back then.
Angelo Vassena and Ralph Evinrude. My guess is this is from Miami Marine Stadium 1975Quote:

Angelo Vassena and his #29 F-3 Molinari/Evinrude CC. I think this is from 1977 when Angelo won Paris 6 hours with this boat.

Angelo Vassena and his #29 OZ class Molinari/Johnson RS V6. Pretty sure this is a 2.6 liter cross-flow.
Pictures are from 1979.

Angelo Vassena's Marine dealership in Italy. He sold boats, OMC outboards and much more.
The first picture is from 1982. You can see Guido Caimi's #21 F1-V8 Velden/Johnson in the background. (third picture is better)

After lots of testing --the project was dropped.( I need help from Mike Farmer!!)
Magoon--with the help of John Stenbeck, Roger Penske, Howard Arneson, me, etc. converted the boat to inboard Detroit Diesel Power
The President's son Challenged Magoon to a race to New York--and somehow? they were going to raise enough money to restore the Statue of Liberty??

Lago di Como/Lecco area and Milan.
Angelo was an extremely fun and a very good person to hang out with.
We did have a lot of fun together over the years.
