    Bob Hering built his own F1-V8 boats. Not sure if the #45 is wood or aluminum but it is a Hering boat with Evinrude F1-V8

    Here is why no second place for Bob Hering in Sacramento 1984..!!

    Bob Hering looks to be in a Ron Jones cab over.
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.
