Jake is Jerry Gilbreath's dad..You know Jerry, throttleman for Alcone Motorsports.

What I was looking for was a picture of Don Pruitt...He won Elsinore in 1969 with a triple Jones....But not the One in Bob's pictures... The one you have pictures of, I think, was the one Jim Mertins won Galveston, Texas with and Mercury never ran it again, only twins....

Pruitt had set his motors, all three, back a foot and this helped carry the bow...when he finished Elsinore, one engine had broken its steering and was just flopping in the breeze.....most would have stopped to fix it, Pruitt just kept going an was the first outboarder to win a combined marathon..
