Molinari Racing Boat History and Information

[Lars Strom]

This is from Munich, Germany 1984..Renato won the F1 title there.

..but it is an older picture..I believe it is the aluminum boat from 1982 with race # 165..

Buck Thornton is driving a Molinari/Evinrude..Looks like a Martini paint job with a new sponsor..not sure what year but my guess is 1984 maybe -85. I know Buck raced a Johnson V8 in Pittsburgh 1983..but did not drive a Molinari boat there. (I think it was a Lee Craft)

Jimbo McConnell drove the Spirit of Sacramento...Molinari/Evinrude to victory 1983

Thank you.

Hi Lars,

Renato Molinari is not only a beautiful boat manufacture but he is a superb cook!
Here is preparing a fabolous BBQ.

Again Thank you.
