Eric Pugh 1986

[PopPop]

Going through a file cabinet today, looking for some old stock certificates, I found this newspaper that a family member sent up in 1986. The photos were in an end-of-year review of news-photos. They are from the Lakeland race the past April. Somehow the sequence did not upload in the right order. Enjoy.

Hey, thanks for posting the full sequence. I have the same clipping and have used it as my avatar for a long time. The boat was one year old at Lakeland '86. I had just made it through the rough side of the lake and caught a puff in front of the yacht club.

Ronny, I'm sure you have the same rig, I may have even PM'd you about it before. When I sold it to Jimmy, it had a piston port Yamato and Harrison quick change engine bracket.

Eric, studying the photos, the boat I've resurrected from the woods of Maine 'appears' in detail to be very similar. It's a knee-down and is 13' 6" and had N3 for a number at one time. It had a Konig tower and foot when I got it. I wonder if there's any way of telling when it was built or who owned it.
