bar hoping with a wing
Its seems that what my old man did with it. Still looking for time to make bigger pic's As if Boots raced this hull or not I could not tell you hell I was only 9years old at the time. But I do know this at some race some where boots had a law suit put against him from Mercury. Boots tried to get a Mercury dealership for his marinea in Oshkosh WI. For some resand Mercury said no. So Boots went to OMC and got a Johnson dealership, and to show his remorce to Mercury he painted the engines white and put Johnson stickers on them, I guess Mercury was really pissed, claimed he was faulse addvertising for OMC. When my dad got the boat he got the white shroulds with it that said Johnson on them.
I also know that the Miss Deoblow wing was once owned by Boots for a very short time in 1972, He bought it from Kenny right after he sold the T-111 to my dad. Me and my father watched him run it on the channel in Oshkosh from Boots dock right after he got it. I see Boots ever once in a while at Spellmens marine, but he is retired nowLast edited by wogi; 01-30-2007 at 06:49 PM.

I believe this is when Ted May raced the wing with OMC power....Mercury wasn't too happy. Can't read the list, but does it list the driver/owner of the wing ??

After this 1965 race, both boats were used as endurance/tes boats at Lake X. #804 was called 'Odell's boat', was later rigged with the BP's and taken to the 1968 Parker 9 Hour--Rick and I are still trying to figure out who was driving---and where the boat went (Bob Massey told me that Mercury gave it to him)

I was under the impression that no wing ever blew over. What happened to that one?
Easier to change props loaded that way tho.
