Lars in the previous post you mention the Paris 6 Hour. A very prestigious race and venue back in the 60s & 70s.
And many other popular venues are now in Boat Racing's past and not present.

I just watched some the TV coverage of the British Open - the 150th at the Saint Andrews golf course.

And it made me think of Boat Racing's legacy and historical racing sites, and the demise of race courses. Like Bristol, Pittsburgh, Paris, Miami Marine Stadium and others. Where and what city will support Boat Racing annually for decades to come, and become a historical venue where "Past and Present Race Drivers" will go to reminiscence and support boat racing legacy?

Of course my first boat ride in Stockholm, Sweden this summer was in a Flipper 640 with an Evinrude Intruder V6 looper 175HP.

Old looper

sweet sound of my looper ��

Enjoyed the video of your looper in your Stv Engine sounds sweet is it stock or modified and what kind of speed do you see in this rig. My son presently has a 19 action craft with a GT 200 looper on it and we have a blown Vindicator 225 that we are going to try and refurbish sometime next year. Best of everything amberjack

Stock 225 powerhead, 16 inch Taylor mid section, Low water pickup, with the 28 pitch on it now low 90’s with a 32 et on it 105.

That’s pretty damn sprightly especially With a stocker. But obviously a trick center section is it a custom one or is it a cut down 20”

[oldschoolltv]

Custom Taylor with above water exhaust.

I have the Eltro in 9963 and looking for info regarding it's history. Sent intmidatorboats a PM...any info you could pass on would be appreciated.

Custom center section

Custom Taylor with above water exhaust.

I’m seeing and trying to analyze obviously a bobs but the center section evade my analysis or experience I should say. Experience That the smallest center section with lowest center gravity is best. The old Mercury and OMC stuff I’m back in the day is mostly 15” Remember from the early Tunnel boats. Is the gear ratio typical 185or187What is the degree of Rake on the blades. And replaced the factory Mounts with solid mounts. There’s a jack plate on there is it manual or hydraulic. Looks like a really cool professional set up
