I thought something was posted about Pat, but can't seem to find it. Pat's brother invent the air chair and Pat, Mike and Nick's mom water skied to Catalina Island and back (52 miles) on her 90th birthday.
Pat drove early OPC boats like Power Cats, , the SJ Tunnels, then later Molinari "S" outboards, then sterndrive tunnels, then MOD VP's. Pat has always been a very talented driver and an excellent mechanic.
His brother, Nick, raced Stock Outboards with Jimmy Dawe for quite a few years.
Pat has a "HOBBY SHOP" in Long Beach. Dave Bryan and I were looking for some MArk 30 parts, so we started at Pats. Of course, we found what we needed.
Pat recently bought this twin engine Power Cat as he saw it race just before he went in the Army. He has a old Carlson, Merc 1500XS, a Jet Boat that he and his son race at the Catalina Ski Race...and his old restored "Woodie".
I told Pat he has too many projects, that he won't live long enough to finish them all...
