Stan Leavendusky Sr. used to carry his runabout like that when he and Butch were only running two runabout classes and needed only one boat. He carried it on the top of a camper top on his pickup and I remember asking him why "upside down" Short answer was "no water in the boat when it rains, and easier on the running surface (keeps the bottom straighter longer).

Some others in that time frame also used to carry runabouts upside down, but can't remember just who now, but the reason was it took better care of the bottom carrying them that way.


WAYNE: Just had to fix some of your beans tonite, and they were the best I have had in a long, long time. Thanks for the recipe. I notice no beans or tomatoes in the chili. Any specific reason why?
