Great old pic, must have run great. Some big hair . I think I see a Chrysler Hydrovee green hull white stripe in the back ground.

.
I was researching a different boat and ran across this picture. Here is an 11 footer setting the 100mph world record at the time with Gerry Walin at the helm.

I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

I was 21 years old then.....that was not my ride....the guy that ran it bought it because he had a ride in my 10 foot b stock boat with a 44 e moter. I built that cause I had a ride in a FRR with a 90 Cid V4 on a Peterson overdrive....all before we knew better......that pix is when he first got the boat a locked stock omc gearcase with a 2 blade Michigan prop..... the next year he had a V4 with a strangler 1/1 gearcase on it. The motor was a built by who I don.t know.....he was running it one day....... and got between a skier and the boat.... he heard a TWANG.....ski rope twitching off the pullstart housing. He tried my 3 blade record and hit a sunken hull. The props were a pair off merc Bps.... Omc props do not re/fit merc....I am winding......

very cool.
That was about the time I started paying attention and 2 yrs before I started racing.
My favorite era of racing. Everything was an experiment/new and changing in front of your eyes.
i built one of the first hydros w/a functional windshield (at least that I saw), you could tuck down behind it (reducing drag) and see by looking through multiple 2" holes I drilled through the dash.
the inspectors did not like itI'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

That looks like the “Anchorage” in Lindenhurst
