Hot Boat Magazine May/June 1968
Hot Boat Magazine May/June 1968...
This was the year that Fred Hauenstein (Happy Birthday today June 13/09...Fred is 66..) and I drove the first DeSilva Wing with twin 100 inch Evinrudes...There were only four at the race, two were on Ernie's 69 Switzer, Ted may Co-Drove with Ernie (AND THAT IS TED DRIVING IN THE PICTURE)...Ernie was ateacher, a band leader). On second thought, there may have been six 100 inchers as the Berghauers had two on the Schultz...
Freddy and I lead the outboard division for a few hours. Then the water line broke and sprayed the wiring. As I was limping back to the pits on one engine, Dewey Berghauer hit my wave and nose dived. the twin Schultz, totally destroying the boat.....ripping his Gentex jacket off... The next race the Berghauer brothers and I had new Lifeline jackets made for outboard marathoning...
A Few Problems With Pictures
I actually have my own scanner on my desk, now. But, I got a NEW computer and haven't had time to see if the scanner works. The second problem, I really have boxes of stuff and I start to look for something and I get side tracked. I'm not sure how I get side tracked, but I do. But let me know which pictures you want and I see what I can come up with.
