Can’t believe there isn’t anyone out there that hasn’t got a picture of the fastest outboard in the world ..

Thanks Lasse—- i have Seen all those pictures before but as i said none of them show the boat from a front view looking NNW.. line drawing from the front of the magazine is as good as im going to get . Both Gary and Bedford are long gone . So i cant get anything from them. I’m still in touch with ALAN GARBRECHT —- I’ll maybe get Mark to give him a call .
But thanks for taking the time to post me your web site — much appreciated !

Mike Butler was still at MERCURY in ‚79— he knew LES CAHOUN who was also with GG at that time and his right hand man. Was wondering if there were any individuals who took independent pictures that have not been seen yet. Theres a couple of really clear but incomplete piccies of the boat. Wonder if ED KARELSON might have a picture of just the boat.
Gary probably had the boat tucked away and sold it to Bedford —- dont think it was a one off just for the record attempt.
Bobby Hering had the world record just before that—- maybe he drove that particular boat Anyone know for sure he didn’t??????? Just idle speculation on my part.
only thing i want is a full picture of the boat —-somebody somewhere must have one !!!!!!

Jackie, speak or e-mail Greg Jacobson from Seaway Marine. There was a good thread with loads of pics on BRF but that thread seems to of disappeared, it was under the title Straightaway Boat Restoration but although the thread pops up on a google search it is an invalid link. Greg's user name was SWMJake. Ron Hill may know what happened to the thread.

Ok RON HILL — we have spoken many times over the years —- you even once offered me the job of rebuilding an inboard you had bought some twenty years ago. Remember you well from Paris and Havasu.
Need some help here to find Garbrechts Mach record breaking KARELSON —— or at least some half decent pictures of the thing . Has been suggested you may know where to find the STRAIGHTAWAY BOAT RESTORATION THREAD . I would be glad of a bit of help here if you could .

Thank you BobbyV— i had feeling there would be someone somewhere who had some decent pictures of the recordbreaking KARELSON.
FAR BETTER THAN ANYTHING I HAVE SEEN SO FAR .
might have to do a rethink but i will get the bugger right .
looks like POWERABOUT IS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE .

BUGGER —- have to make a fresh start this morning on the KARELSON .
Decided i can do a whole lot better . I wont bin the other efforts , just shelve them along with the other twenty or so up there .!!!
Sorry Pilgrim—you are just going to have to wait a while longer .
Boris and Biden got off to a good start until the thorny problem of IRELAND raised its head again. What joe cant get into his head is the fact that for over 400 years we have not been able to solve the problem. Just because he had an Irish ancestor doesn’t make him a peace maker — he needs to solve his own problems before attempting to solve ours .
