Where are they now

So Watermark is ... -Water--------Mark (no **** sherlock)-

Yup.. it is.. Now here is a picture of you driving your cowl-less tunnel in NY one fine day in '73. We had a great race in Toronto ( even better for you because you won! ) around that same time.. and you were driving this boat.. ( I believe it was a boat your own design, or at least a refurb ?? ).

I've told many people through the years that I never saw a driver fly a boat as high and as consistently as you.. and here is the proof .

Good to catch up with you again!

I worked that race and had to pull all the crap out of the river and at that time thats just what was in there. I liked Johns boat with the tonneau cover instead of the cowl. I recall this like today. Bob

[outboard bob]

This was another great boat that you will remember.

Backed up to the front work area of the boat store, you in white coveralls, I was there and asked if you needed a hand. Bob

[outboard bob]

John ...I meant that you stopped at the boat store to do something to the boat at another time with this boat.

It looks like Clayton is shaping up to be some reunion........

Mark...... you can drive the Wing......... If John and I can drive the Moli.

Come to think of it....The Moli is probably safer.

Geez...that sounds like fun! It is next summer I am guessing..........maybe I could arrange my annual pilgramage back to Toronto around the same time..............

Is it just me........or were both John's and Mark's noses crafted from the same mold?

I'm just asking.....put down the tomatoes.....drop the water balloons.....

I'm just saying there is an aerodynamic resemblance between the leading edges of both men.......

Maybe it gave them a speed advantage........or a device for aiming more precisely in turns.

Unfortunately my lack of hair was always defeated as a speed device because we had to wear helmets

T2x......... asking the tough technical questions.

Yes Rich but look at how much tighter the helmet fits without the hair, KEEPS THE HEAD FROM GETTING BIG !!!!!!!

I will be in Clayton with two boats.
1963 Farmer 280 Hydro and a 1962 15c Power Cat.

What about the Wing?

Now if Mark will post a nose picture we can let our members be the judge.

Oh, aren't we a competitve bunch! Note both shots are pretty much straight on which doesn't give portray the true length and hook.. so our members will have to use their imagination.

Here we are, 25 years later, competing nose-to-nose again... does it really get much better?? Thanks T2x for dropping the bar down to an all new (low) level.

By the way, I read where the nose is the only body part that never stops growing, so even if John has me now, I could pull ahead and win at the finish. Frankly, as much as I want to win, my vote is for John.

John:
You did get the Power Cat transported from California then?
Do you plan to configure the boat as a racer with center
steering? Should be a fun project.

Spoken like a true member of the Canadian Motor Sports Hall of Fame.

By the way.....where exactly is Canada?...... I keep forgetting....eh?

Bill Brown of Picks Boat house is now a fully ordained (spelling) minister in the Catholic Church.
He sold off Picks Boat House a couple of years ago. I tried to get him to sell me all his Hydrostream stuff but he didn't. I bought my 1976 Vixen off him too. Back in the day we had a good time putting on races in Region 6 with the Akron Outboard Club. I have known Bill for about 30 years and I can tell you he is very happy now.

Good stuff you guys, makes for great belly laughs

My vote goes to John, he wins by a .......well, you know

The betting seems to be splitting along National lines with the yanks sneezing out support for our entry and the Canadians nosing up behind their's.

Based on simple population Mr. Sherlock is a shoe in for the victory...in spite of the fact that Prince Charles (and his wife the Duchess of Homely) is currently in the U.S. trying to sway public sentiment for his favorite Canadian honker.

This could be decided by the width......of a handkerchief.

T2x...................... baldly going where none have gone before
