Wow, Devastating to my memories.
All these years I held my Dad up as one of the Good Guys.
Now due to the evidence shown, he's a thief - the man stole a Lady's boat number. And he didn't even do better than 5th.
1962 Mrs. Moesly 888 SeaCraft 5th Overall
1966 Roy Ridgell 888 Molinari 6th Overall
The shame of it all.........

Regarding post# 70.
I did some calculations on the return trip, West Palm Beach to Miami. The percentages numbers are based on each drivers own competing results. They compare his Sunday’s southbound finish improvement, relative to his Saturday’s northbound run to WPB.
Here are the top 5 drivers whom had the best improvements on their 2nd leg finish.
John Bakos + 1,160 %
Roy Ridgell + 500 %
Geo Skidd + 264 %
Mona Dally + 183 %
Odell Lewis + 175 %
One wonders what these drivers did, to greatly improve on their 2nd leg results, running southbound back to Miami.
Also John, Roy and Odell were running Mercury Lake X factory boats.

Bobby Erra. What a guy he and Dave Stoller were a lot alike though a few years apart. Patsy Arra theDad was another story and you didn’t mess with Leroy Brown. After Bobby lost part of his hand at Lake maggiore he had my aunt Dottie make him a prosthetic so he could hold a golf club. I remember the Holman moody shop has a kid. Right on the river at eighth Avenue across from Catherine Park’s Place. A lot of history on those two corners. I ran a home in Moody 289 in donzi copy that Pete at P&D built fo us in a couple o marathons atPhyc and in the Miami Key largo race. Later a 427 H&M motor in a California eliminator pic boat ever could catch old Harry Schoell. Along long time ago. Loved watching the GCM start from the 125th causeway as amid starting in the late 50s longago

...living on "tidal" waterfront all my life, watching the water go back & forth every day of my life, high tide coming in, then slack tide for 20 minutes or so, then low tide going out...we always pay attention and are aware of this & consider them for many reasons. clean water versus dirty water, stationary bridge height to come & go for the day, what schools of fish will be in front of us, getting to the inlet faster on outgoing tide, and so on. "maybe", just maybe...the tide was in they're favor...who knows. you would be surprised how much tide movement can alter things...

I think the guys and the Merc Factory boats ran faster on the second leg because they were afraid of Mr. K Putting his foot up there behind in a cigar and someplace worst
