    S.O.B.R.A. 72. Note, looks like a ScatCraft Tunnel.

    Default Kings Ferry

    I remember the day Charlie Lee was killed. That was one strong running 1350. I recall the wreck occurred between him and Sonny Lee???

    There was an orange and white glass tunnel boat that may have been an Allison that I think belonged to Jerry Adams.

    The Allison with the single stock Chrysler was probably the one owned by Larry Hartenhoff.

    Yes, the wreck was between Charlie and Sonny. The impact was such that he was killed instantly. The rescue boat had to idle up along side him and a guy jumped in the Allison, pulled the kill switch and had to pry his fingers from the wheel.

    White Allison tunnel with red/orange trim was Harold Bateman.

    Blue and white Allison with stock Chrysler was Jerry Adams.

    Ken Davis raced a Allison with a Chrysler stacker before switching to a Stinger GP. That was a very fast boat. He won the SV championship that year.

    Old guy named Robert Hammontree did very well with a kit built tunnel and a Chrysler stacker.

    Larry is still in the marine business. His shop is right down the road from me.

    Default Charlie Redmond

    I talked to Bloise Williams this weekend at Jesup GA. He said that the guy helping him rig the Marchetti in one of the above post in the blue shirt is Charlie Redmond. He has a lot of pics from the past maybe Ronny will post them.

    Troy Noonan, a former SORA member gave me this pic at Jesup this weekend. It had to be at least 1973 due to that boat being my (73) B MOD Byers Hydro

    Great pic. There were also some guys from Jax also running at Sav’h Jim and Denny

    Betsy Noonan’s beautiful hydro was built in Troy’s garage.

    That same group ran at Hazlehurst Ga

    The Dicky and Bill Carlisle Brothers ran pro and their very young sister ran a B hydro too
