  • " Iron Mike Ackerstrom " heading to Vinces, Ecuador.

    Big surprise at Standish, Maine race today, Dr. Roger Moscoso, President of Ecuador Boat Racing Club from Ecuador offered Mike Ackerstrom, the winner of the C Runabout, ( Standish Maine ) an all expenses paid trip to Ecuador to race in the Ecuador Regatta Guayaquil Vinces marathon in March of 2018. Thank you, Euador Boat Racing & President Moscoso. I'm sure you won 't be disappointed with the show, that South Shore Outboard Association's " Iron Mike " Ackerstrom can put on.

    Congratulations Mike. Show them the way around the course. Are you shipping your own outfit to run?

    Really Cool.

        Mike,
        Monica and Roger will treat you well. We had a great time in 2006.

        The boats are copies of 10' Austins. The water is smooth, nothing like Top 'O. There was some crud in my fuel tank & didn't finish. Make sure that's ok - take a filter with you. Pack a 50' roll of throttle cable in your suit case. This is something they can't get down there, you will make lot's of friends. There is a BIG party with loud music at the end of the race. Take ear plugs with you. (For the party, not the race)

      What is the race format? River, lake, closed course, marathon, number of heats, how many boats,.... etc etc.
