Here you go David - the good old days...........

Here is your boat in 1971 at Quincy, WA - Crecent Bar - on the Columbia River. That is me driving and my number was 136-R that year - the class is A Stock Hydro, running a Mercury KG-4 motor. The second photo shows it in the race - and the boat behind me is Gerry Hopp. Gerry is still racing - although now he races Unlimiteds - a slight step up from A Stock Hydro....





Here it is right before I sold it with my dad racing his one race in A Stock Hydro - 1972 at Rockaway Beach, Oregon. The motor on this one is a Merc Mark 15.



Here is a nearly identical "sister ship" - also made in 1971 by Craig Craft - this shot of Jill Kingdon (my wife of 30 years) in 1971 winning the "Powder Puff" ASH race at Silver Lake in Everett. Every year we let the girls run an A Stock Hydro race at Silver Lake for the Powder Puff Trophy.



We had a lot of fun in those days huh Dean ?
