Old and New

**Boat20** · 04-06-2005

The old Mod VP days were one of the most wonderful times in my life. Partly because I survived in one piece.THANK GOD. I went to a boat race in Fla. last year and felt very sad that the evolution of Mod VP has come to 150hp , environmentally perfect motors, and 1500 or 1600 lbs. I felt that boat racing has taken a giant step backwards. Rather than live in the past I do other things now. I do have one constructive bit of info. If I were to run in that new class I would run a v bottom. They carry the weight and lack of HP better than the tri-hulls. Hi to all my old friends I think of you all often. Mike Quindazzi

Gosh Mike, don't recall how long it's been since I last saw you. Welcome to this lively site. Any old OPC pictures that you can post from our NE days?

Welcome to the site.

Sorry I didn't take any pictures, but had a great lunch. For awhile I thought maybe Fred and Mike might have to take it out behind the restaurant and finish it.......But peace prevailed.

Fred bought lunch which was good and I didn't have any money...
