Jackie...Only you could come up with a phrase like that.

I fully expected he would at least try to defend himself after seeing what Jimbo had to say.....maybe he just doesn't get it.

I agree...I have been waiting several day to see what kind of a response he was going to have...and nothing. Is it possible that one just got by him or is he choosing to ignore it for some unknown reason???

Back in the day, Powerboat ran a one page feature called TURNED ON. It was usually a photo of something happening at a boat race and they would add a humorous caption or statement. I came across a feature from their September, 1974 edition. It is a rather dramatic shot of Jimbo, pretty sure it's from the Paris race. As you will see, Jackie was making his presence felt.....causing trouble again!

Gimme a break Willa---------- What's with making his presence felt------- ???? Pruett and Jimbo were bosom buddies and i had been warned to stay out of trouble or i would have to answer to Billy Don, and there was no way i was going down that particular road.!!!!!! Jimbo and i never once touched bums, ask him. !!!!!!!!
Been taking time out and doing lots of nothing in particular, and missed the Jimbo sideways bit, i thought he always waved to the crowd in that particular fashion------lifted one sponson-----belched------then the other----- did a love puff and stood it on it's tail, one of the boys party pieces dontcha know. The crowd loved it.

.....I should give you break, but will admit that maybe the photo I posted wasn't exactly the way it appeared in Powerboat. I may have taken a few libertys with it.

Now i really am worried---------so it is true--you never had a mother and father. I am sure i could get you put in clink for messing with copyright foggies . And why now do you want to give me a break????? You want something-----or worse you need something, reminds me of the old song we used to sing together------------here goes---------"you didn't have to be so nice, i would have loved you anyway"-------i was born a worried man.

How can you tell the good people we ---neverever--evernever not even noteverever sang that song----------You telling me you don't REMEMBER singing it on that unforgettable night-------HOW EMBARRASSING-----OH WILLA HOW COULD YOU ????

"Dity" was a fluid level check.....was wondering if you were operating a quart low or maybe a couple of pints high.....apparently it's still okay for you to drive yourself home!

The memory banks are sometimes kind.....I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to remember a night out, singing with Jackie & the Boys.

Just an FYI.....The last six weeks or so, I have not had much time to call my own. Will be having somewhere between 5 and 14 days downtime in about three weeks, maybe I can get the new stuff that I have been puttering with posted during that time.

[jackie wilson]

Am sure all the guys are waiting for your next set of posts willa-----good to have you back j.

Recently restored by Bud Clark, Kingston, Ontario.
Not sure of the history of this Molinari. The Twister was not originally on this hull.
If this rocker bottom was a Canadian raced Molinari, there were 4 with Mercs; Jim Del Greco (BP 1000), Oley Berkis (Merc 135), Karl Kraznai (Merc 140) and Don Clark's #177 that was raced in Canada by Barry Taylor (Twister I).
There were only 2 with OMC's that I remember. Tom Wood and Reg Hillman.
I'll try to find out more.

There was also the one that Dick Summerfeldt brought back from Italy that was repaired and the sponsons flattened after his accident. This boat went to Ludy Schindler who ran it with an OMC. This sure looks like it.
