Used to hang out a Ritchie's shop when he was in Cape Coral. I was just a kid of 18-19, wanting to learn how to build boats. He let me use one of his 17' molds to make a boat for myself. One helluva guy, and always willing to help someone out. Learned a lot from just watching his shops construction process. 1st time I ever saw a boat fresh out of the mold having it's bottom blueprinted. He was an amazing guy. Sad to hear of his passing.

This post reminds me of when I hung around Henry Lauterbach's shop as I grew up. At that time Lauterbach boats were the ones to beat. How fortunate to love fast boats and be able to be in a place like that. We don't appreciate those times until they are gone. Originally Posted by XstreamVking

Back in the very late 60s or very early 70s, the local Mercury Dealer had a Sutphen that was powered by the most powerful twin, 6 cylinder, in-line, production Mercs. It was called the "Green Wink". I believe the boat was about 17 feet long, and was made in New Jersey. That was a awesome boat with a tremendous reputation.
Very, very sad to hear when a boat builder who thinks outside of the box, passes.
