These are from two negatives and I have no other info. Can anyone tell me anything about these?
UU-170 looks to be a Dutchman. The other one maybe Hustler?

The white boat with the X115's is a Vampire. Pretty sure

The V bottom is a Switzer Supersport. If you look at the picture real close, you can see the Switzer logo near the transom. The picture of the Dutchman was correct in the first picture. He's probably headed for the trailer after the heat. I know the Dutchman, I just can't rattle his name to the front of my brain. He was a local guy from Region 6 in the '68 '69 years. The Switzer is from Wisconsin. If it's Canton OH, it was taken in '68. Both sets of motors are from '68. The '67 Evinrude were a different paint scheme.

The Dutchman boats were built by Jan Schoonover from Lima, Ohio. Bill Petty owned a Dutchman hull, he was from Ohio, too.
It does not look like Bill Petty for Wapakoneta, Ohio.
X-115 came out in 1967. Pretty sure the OPC Nationals were in Miami in '68 and '69.
About the negative. I wasn't backwards as now the numbers are backward. He must have just been running close to the shore!
I was thinking a Hustler was made by Switzer...but I knew better. It is a Switzer for sure!

I knew Bill Petty and Jan Schoonover. I don't think the driver of the Dutchman is either of them. The name will probably come to me in a few more years.
