Here's a picture that goes way back to just about the beginning.
It's my Dad and I, taken by my mom. It was taken in 1949. I don't remember what race we were going to, but you can see that we were
not in Florida due to the rolling hills in the background.
'48 Packard convertible towing the racing rig that my Dad bought from Joe Swift. My Mishey M hydro is the one on top.
What a kool trailer that was. All sorts of storage room for motors and supplies.
The other two boats were Fillingers. An A/B hydro and a C hydro.
Joe Swift began building stock racing hydros soon after this point in time.
The engine line up in the trailer was as follows:
Evinrude Midget for me
Johnson KR for A hydro
Johnson SR for B hydro
Johnson PR for C hydro
My Dad never did anything "half ***"!
