The number is D-89 on the pictures which I have to apologize for their quality. One of the reasons we have started a class of boats called COR (Classic Outboard Runabout) is an attempt to return to the days of Outboard Pleasure Craft. Our current rules are posted on APBA's web site under Special Events. We now have 15 COR boats in Southern California and are in the process of spreading to other regions. It sounds like we are starting out like the old OPC only we will be more careful so as not to fall into the current OPC game where engines and boats can run into the 10's of thousands.
Nice shot of a good-looking boat, but it's not mine. I got my boat from Nick Chapman (Curtis Craft) new in 1966, while attending U. of Miami.
