Trouble is, I don't know where Powerboat Magazine is anymore, as I want to buy a few hundred copies of the January, 2007, issue...

I always liked this picture and I always was glad I wasn't diving this boat and for sure, I was glad I wasn't riding in it....

I sold a propeller today, to Ken Warby...Was looking through some OLD magazines..and saw this:

I remember, like yesterday, Rod Zapf and I attending a cocktail party at Lee Taylor's shop, next to John Wayne Airport...Hard to believe it was 1979, as I also recall Bill Foster, Greg Foster's dad, launching Lee's boat with one of his cranes...

Rod and I looked this boat over and then looked at each other and said, "He's going to be killed in this boat." I said to Rod, "It would run better with the sponsons in the front...." When I heard Lee Taylor was killed trying to up Ken Warby's record, I wasn't surprised...

Hey Guys I do know of a great Magazine that covers all aspects of Power boat racing as we like it
It is called H2O Full throttle and it has some of the best pictures and coverage that I have ever seen

Here is a link to their website and even the site does not do it justice when it comes to pictures

Here's how boating magazines figure out what articles to print:

The publisher hires an editor to find out what types of articles are in demand. They print the articles, then wait to see how much feedback they get on each. If a magazine has 20 articles on a variety of things: offshore/outboards/drag racing/regattas/poker runs, they'll keep track of how many readers respond to those articles.

I once wrote a story on the Rumble on the River for Hot Boat and I made sure to tell everyone at the event to let Hot Boat know they want more articles like these. When the article hit the stands, only ONE person wrote to tell Hot Boat they wanted more like it. So, that's what's been happening to all the outboard coverage we used to get. It's mostly our own fault. We don't help ourselves.
