      i remember when Dieter Schultz came over with Dieter Konig. Dieter Schultz stayed and to make some money built a real nice cabin cruiser outside back behind Bud Wiget's shop. He sold the boat and was able to spend some time in the USA.

        I couldn't figure out how to post the link but if you want to watch a video of an aired out cabover google Chris Applebee. If you want to watch one in a race in Russia google Janos Feil.

        Best Regards,
        Ron

                      Steve,

                      Where was this picture taken? Obviously a place with snow it looks like.

                      Thanks, Dean

                        Approximately what years were those boats built?

                        And roughly when did Crescent start and stop building that engine?

                          Well Dean, this was taken about a block or so from Konig factory. This is were boat testing was done after motor tests/ development was done and tested at factory. What you see and think is snow, is gravel piled up and it is white. There were always barges moving this and other items through the canals of Berlin. Berlin is a city that has many canals that crisscross through it and at one time was a escape route from the East to flee communism. Many died trying to do this over the years. A very interesting place to be in the eighties to observe the form Soviet Block and the things citizens did to escape. There is a very good museum at the old Checkpoint Charlie gate that shows what was done from 1960 and before to 89 and how people sought out simple freedom. It was a experience that I would not trade for any amount of money. To bad our young citizens can’t see this or experience this,(maybe in Venezuela) what Socialism does to people and a nation. Looks good on paper but is pure BS in the real World.
