Just a note to the entire O'Connor family: Thanks for having the rest of us boat racers up there today and digging out all those photos and clippings letting us roam through Bob's shop. Your Dad was a true Champion of our sport. And, the sign on the shop door "Bob O'Connor Hydroplaneologist" kinda sums it up. Cause far as I know, he's the only one in the world with that title..... and there's no doubt in my military-mind that BOB is quite content knowing that HE IS the ONLY one... and he d***-well deserves the title!!
And, if I may share two of his (and my) favorite sayings: "A person ought'nt have to spend more than 2500 bucks for a hydro". And, "You see that cowl?? That's why driving one of my boats is like driving a #%$$ cadillac!!"
I've still got my boats, but we're sure gonna miss The Hydroplaneologist.
