Millville

Rich,
Millville is correct on two.
I don't know where the third picture is from.
These three photos were taken by Dennis Swanson,
our chief patrol boat guy at Ocoee this year but these photos are not from this
year. Notice the white 1959 55H in photo one.

I think what is really neat is that these pics are in color. Usually pics from this time period are black & white. It's kinda like a time tunnel.

Ist picture is Lambertville, NJ 1958. 188 entries in nine classes. The white CU and DU in the middle appear to be the boats of Lou and Bob Letwinski of Union Beach, NJ. They should be in Lambertville this weekend with Chip Fuller and Rich palys driving.

Slides

Dennis had taken these as slides and he loaned some of them to me
and I had color prints made with his permission.
They are real awesome quality considering their age. This all started becasue I have Roger Hoffman's 1956 A Sid Craft Hornet runabout thanks to Craig Bowman (That is another story for later). Then I was able to track down Eddie Wulf's (NY) A utility (runabout). These boats ran one/two at the 1959 SO Nationals in Washington. I wanted a color photo of each to help with the restorations if I ever get to them. Dennis ran the Wulf boat for a season or so.

The pictures are great! The only downside is that it drives home the fact that our sport has shrunk. I started in 1948 and can not believe the drop off in participation. I'm afraid that gas costs will further impact on us. I guess there are just too many different types of toys nowdays also.

98-j

Craig,
I believe that boat 98-J is a Sid-Craft "DU" Hornet that was owned & raced by Harrison Boggs. I think he also had a cab-over hydro.
