Here is a (poor qulaity) shot I have of Craig at Lawrence Lake with his ASR "Floater Boat" - kilo record was 61+mph - he also ran it in BSR and it went about 72 mph as I recall.

We had a black hearse that we used to pull the Craig Craft trailer and boats with in the mid 1970's - we used it for most all of the local races. It had all of the curtains and decorum still in place...

F-66 is indeed Jimmy Aderholdt of Jacksonville, Alabama - got his pic on the cover for going 100 mph at the North-South Championships in Burlington, NC June 17-18, 1972. The other cover photo of the...

An old freind was in town this weekend and he loves to go to second hand and antique stores so I took him around to a few places. We were in the basement of one store in the back corner and there in...

I may have some stuff from that race - I was there watching and remember clearly be so amazed at how the Hedlund's just blew everyone away and cleaned up in both A and B hydro. For the next few...

I found a few more photos of the early Craig Craft hydros - these taken by the great Bob Carver, appeared in the July 31, 1971 Seattle Times sports section reporting on the hydro races at Seattle's...

I have two or three 8 X 10 glossy sequence shots of me that Bob Carver shot with his motor drive illustrating my superior driving skills. Here is one from about 1975 when I was trying one of Ron...

Bob Carver was a freelance photographer from the Seattle area and he took many thousands of unbelieveably great photos over the years of boat racing. He had an uncanny sense and eye for who was...

A bit before my time, but I think it is Dave Swanson - and the other guys may be Lance Puckett and Stu Lowe.

The Stock Nationals were here in Seattle in 1968 on Green Lake - I was there watching and had my first race later that year. I saw Jan and George last year at a race - but have not seen...

All of our boats - hydros and runabouts - did indeed have the vented transoms from the very first ones. Craig got that idea in part from Cliff Bedford. I am not sure how one could measure...

A few more shots of Craig in the floater - which he tried to run at the 1974 Stock Nationals at Dayton, Ohio. He somehow barrel rolled it - not the best rough water competiton boat perhaps - note...

That is a better picture of it - same boat as the 1-R boat pictured above. I have more shots of it somewhere. Craig was not kind to it with paint schemes after 1973, but crappy spray can paint job...

Here is Steve DeFeo in the ASH Craig built for him in 1974 - he won the ASH nationals in it at Dayton (photo from Rusty Rae's very cool book called Speed and Spray which documented that whole 1974...

Then we built this competition ASH for me using many similar design ideas from the Kilo boat and the first ones pictured above in this thread - ran it in ASH and a few BSH races - it was very fast...

Most motor work was done on our own. Everyone had good mentors and it all came together in the mid 70's. Craig's best A motor - the Mark 15 we called "Goldie" - was built by Craig in the...

I also remember that boat as it had a very short cockpit area - a design feature Craig changed after that. I found a few more old photos of the early days and early boats - I will post...

Hey Coop

Nice to hear from you. That was a great boat - the last 3 or 4 I made for my self came out nicely - you bought one, Mike Mazer from Mass bought one, Carl Holt bought one too. I still...

Do you have any photos of your dad's boat ?

JW -I talked to Craig last week and heard about some cool new things to come. Sounds like fun. He and Greg have made some very cool hot rods in recent years. He is always doing something fun. Nice...

Not that its a big deal, but just to correct a few things MJR said above:



Greg was there at the shop and he took care of us for sure, but it was mostly Craig and I that were building the...

Here are some shots of the Evinrude’s 1975 Starflight attempt from the National Enquirer that I have saved all these years. Hubert Entrop and a few other key folks present for the Starflight IV run...

Seeing these old photos of A&H boats brings back many old memories. This may not be the best thread to post these shots in, but I tried one of Ron’s boats once in 25SSH – trying to test a few new...

We had an old timer's night at the local boat racing club meeting a few weeks back - Seattle Outboard Assn. Lee was there, so were Craig Selvidge, Janis, Dennis and Ray Lee, Howard Anderson, Ralph...

This is Leonard's house and shop today. Kind of run down as it was neat as a pin in Leonard and Lois' day, but it does not look too much different. The shop was the garage in the back and it went...

I also saw someone posted another thread here with Region 10 area shots from movies that Jimmy Hallum took in the 60'2-70's including some of me in the 125 cc Hydro - but that thread is now closed. I...

I will take some photos and post them. The foundry was just a shed type room in the back corner of the shop - its still there but no one who did not work there in Leonard's day would know what it...

My brother and I worked for Leonard in the 60's and 70's - his house and shop are still there - I drive by them once a week or so and it always brings back memories of the place. Great shop - the...
