Scream & Fly Award

The Scream & Fly Most Postings Award goes to Fujimo for posting 122 posts with amazing pictures all in one day. Never done before and probably will never be done again, unless Fuji wants to break his own record.

Thank you and keep 'em coming...

Amen! I come on here at least once a day and this is the one thread that I check on every visit. I have come to count on seeing some amazing race history and photos that I'd seen many years ago among the pages of PowerBoat Magazine during their multi issue History of the Outboard series. Thanks for posting these old memories.......and keep them coming!

I had a Burns many years ago that I ran in Sport J. That hull had an aroma (interior finish, wood and paint) that was all it's own. Nothing like Molinari, Scotti, etc. Can someone elaborate on the Burns raceboat? Who built them? Where? What classes were they run in, etc?

BurnsCraft raceboats were built by Spike Burns in central Ontario, Canada. I believe most of his boats were built back in the 70's, and I know he built tunnel hulls and some hydroplanes but I don't recall which classes they were run in, or if he built other styles of race boats as well. You might find more info online, or some others on this forum may know more.
