    Question Can anybody identify this boat and its crew?

    This photo is from the Randy Rabe Rabco Boats Archive. The photo was taken in the early 1970s in Florida, and I cannot find any specific info on the boat and crew. I have a feeling you guys here could identify it.

    I can help, Greg

    I have an original framed poster--30 X 30? I'm sure it is a publicity picture from Mercury Marine--

    It was taken at the Miami/Key West Race, November 1968--first race of the 1969 APBA Season

    Doc and I had won the 1968 Outboard Championship in his 28' Magnum (#444)

    Doc got a new Race Number---and--a free ride!!

    Doc wanted the fastest Outboard for the new season

    Odell came up with this 27' LIGHTWEIGHT Memco---and Dale Thayer

    Odell set me up with Pat Duffy for the season

    The Memco broke apart and sunk

    Doc eventually took another free ride--with OMC

    Guess who won the 1969 Outboard Championship?
