I saw the transom of that boat disappear into the first turn for a complete season in U-I.

I split heat wins with Bobby in SE at the 73 Nationals. I won the first heat and broke the 5 mile record. Not good enough. Bobby won the second heat and broke the record again.

It may not look too pretty, but they (on the other side of Diablo) run damn well!

Fujimo - I have been totally impressed by your photos and knowledge thereof. This is Armand Hauser's son Jim Hauser as "Mr. Mercury". I think this photo was part of a circa 1959 advertising campaign. Jim was a close friend of mine and my partner in the establishment of OFF. Unfortunately, Jim passed away recently. Regards - Steve Sirois
