IROC Boat Race
Who were all the drivers? So who became the "baseline" (heaviest) for weight? I assume a clock start was used to test driver skills vs LeMans start (drag race). What eventually happened to these OE/SE boat and motor set ups? I noticed the article is mis-titled? Identical engines, props? Pretty hard to do? Power trim or fixed pin?

Well WaterZebra,
Of course they used power-trim and if you watch this video to the end you have the answers to all your questions.

Jeff Brown Package Ads
Yes...…..that would explain the full page ads that ran in the APBA Propeller, Powerboat and Popular Mechanics issues after the ROC race. It looks like Jack Leek did the run-ups for the engines. Not sure why this was done with props instead of test wheels. Did anybody make test wheels for SE engines? I was lucky enuf to have Bob Hering make my test wheel for my V6 / SSM Mercs...……..

I remember both very well.
I remember Bill saying he didn’t like driving the newer cabovers either.
He was one of my hero’s and probably the best spokesman for boat racing of all time.
I was in shock when he was killed.
To me he was larger than life and would live forever.
Was equally distraught over Jimbos accident too for the exact same reasons.
Neither one have ever been replaced.
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.
