Midwest Boat Racer. 1950's

[napa1]

I am 84 years young now but still remember the "good old days" of racing on the Illinois River, Mississippi River and many small lakes in Illinois,Wisconsin, and Indiana. I started out with a DeSilva closed runabout which was a good unit but too heavy. My last three years I drove an Ashburn (A)hull with a a B Merc with lots of My own and Quincy Welding innovations. The set up turned out to be pretty good as I could compete with the Factory sponsored teams.
I will enter some more information later.
