I remember this race mostly because I didn't get to drive that day. I was co-driving on an E class boat that broke just before my stint. Not my boat but my motor. Motor did not break.

He had them on a double decker trailer like yours. The UU boat on the bottom and the smaller one on the top. Occasionally I would see him running Muck Muck in the Clearwater intercoastal waterway. That must have been around 1970.

Thank you for the memory...
