I wonder what we found under there , Around 1976 Super Strangler, stippish Tunnel click to enlarge, an click center to enlarge more . i don't know why the pic's are not comming out larger
This is the same boat i drove in the Miami triple blow over . Now it has new style cowling. It was only three weeks old at the Miami race in 1975. It had almost no damage except the cowling . Dad fixed the rear an front cowl. Then Carl sent the low profile cowl for the back. This boat had some great workmanship in it .
Testing at Miami before the Miami triple blow over. This boat was three weeks old an build by Carl Stppish(sp) Carl build the Twistercraft boats for Merc. There is a story about this boat , Carl and Merc. i will tell some time.
I was going through the early stages of your thread yesterday.
And I noted that you mentioned reading a SEBA Propeller story that was of interest to you.
I'm wondering, can you fill me in on how long SEBA continued running races.
As you know from earlier contacts with me, I moved on to APBA alky and then into retirement by my mother in '59, after my dad's death at Daytona, in Lake Lloyd.
I would have preferred to continue on with my boat racing, but had to switch to car and m/c racing.
I've always wondered how long SEBA continued doing races?
I've also just posted some musings on my thread that are related to your
early threads.

George, as best i can tell it lasted untill about 62 i don't know what happened to it .i ran my first race in Sav. GA. about this time an it was outlaw, a lot of SEBA drivers were there the race was on the Ogeechee river where highway 17 goes over it. Al when you and John S were racing were there any SEBA races.
Danny- I do know that SEBA was running in the late 50s/early 60s. Ralph Donald could probably fill in what years the organization covered. Wish I still had my rule book along with so many racing publications such as Roostertail, Propeller and magazines. Most lost in my moves.
To Danny and Al,
Thanks for the comments. I'll see what Ralph has to say about it.
After I got factory support from Deter, I didn't do much SEBA racing any longer.
Deter wanted me racing APBA and NOA to enhance motor sales.
And thats what I did until my dad's untimely death at DIS in '59.
That changed my direction and I lost track of SEBA entirely.
Those were sure great days for me! I loved every minute of it!!

Miami 1975 Dad in red shirt
Knoxville Boat Club 1971 this was the home of Claude Fox an NOA, Many records were set here over the years, this Pic is of Charlie Tobias and his Byers Hydro This was a NOA AMPRO race (now MOD in APBA) AMPRO ment American Professional (no foreign motors) It was said that Charlie's dad owned a advertising company an Charlie would use company money to put on the races an hope he made enough back to cover it on monday i don't think his dad knew this, he put on a lot of races around the Knoxville. This was the Dowood Art's Festival Championship. Carl Perkins was at this race.
