I saved his last price sheet
Wow! you remember that too.The name May sounded like mad,so I called it the MAD BOAT.
Thats me,7 years old.Seems like I still wash the boats:confused:Great story Ron.Ray was born in 1931.They must have become friends back in the early OMC racing days.I think it was new in 1971
Ron,that May boat came from my dad.Heres a pic from June 1972.He ran his 6banger and an OMC V-4 on it in the "X" class
There were two finals run at LaCrosse in 1980. C Service hydro,won by Pete Hellsten and I won the Formula 350 hydro
Here are some pics of Dan receiving a large trophy,not sure when or where this event took place.Could use some help on this one.
Great pics Wayne!That was a brand new Quincy Z 125 and new Pugh hydro my dad bought for me in the spring of 78'.That was my first national championship title.We won alot of races with that rig in...
Over half of this bunch is still racing today
John,I'm not sure if Ray had anything to do with that engine or not.Post a pic if you can.He did have that special front have engine monted backwards with expansion chambers too,I have no pics of it...
I think that was some battery CD stuff from OMC? He cast up some aluminum exhaust adapters for the side of the block.The steel elbos were then bolted to them.I think it was last run at DePue in...
Bingo,You got it
This is about 1970.Racing Rays C looper with expansion chambers.He also had an Alky 6 deflector with sliding pipes on a 12'8" Marchetti.Who recognizes the skinny kid in the lawn chair
