NOA Pleasure Craft Racing 1958-60, part II

[Smokin' Joe]

More old stuff.

1. Start of 1958 Tennessean 100 mile Marathon, NOA Nationals on Old Hickory Lake. My dad and Buddy Malonee side by side, but not for long.

2,3. I've still got the decals.

4. Advertisement, ca. 1958.

5. Nick Sussinger, Mercury Sales Rep, my Dad and me, 1959 Chicago Boat Show, first year for the Mark 10A.

6. JMC after winning the Ft. Loudon 100 mi. Marathon in 1959. The faster similar rig ran out of gas. A Scott 40 on a better 14' AristoCraft ran 3rd, my bottom was hooked and his was straight. Background: my youngest sister Mary K. holding my youngest brother, John.
