Great photo Craig. It's about time you discovered technology and posted a photo. We are proud of you!

Why that's none other than the famous Art Pugh,

Phil's right

If you've learned to post a photo (which I have yet to accomplish) then you can now respond to the unanswered e mails I've sent you, Bob and Weave, over the past few YEARS!?! ASH formerly known as 60-0

Hi Juli.

Boat and Motor

Is that a Konig on a Dubinski Hydro?

[BROCCOLI]

Sure looks like it, Dean. However, I don't remember seeing any dubinski's before 1963..Maybe Eric will tell us.

Hedland?

I thought it was a Hedlund?

[DeanFHobart]

Remember?

Craig,

There's probably a lot of stuff you don't remember from the 60's.!!!!!!!!!!!

[David Weaver]

My Guess

Is that it is a Pugh and the Konig is a 250 "FA".

Man, Art has been a particpant in PRO racing forever!!!

[T Chance]

Looks like a B or C to me, and Art probably built the boat himself.

Is it a Pughburger?

Is it a Pughburger?

Where is Eric?

What ever happened to Eric Pugh? He used to post here alot. He could probably tell us for sure what kind of boat it is.

BTW, I can just barely remember Art racing, back in the mid 60's. One of his sons (long since forgot his name, I think it was his oldest) was hurt pretty badly at Depue (sometime around 1969-1971) I think testing an alky going down the back stretch.

Amazing Resemblance

"Is it a Pughburger?"

It is an amazing resemblance to a Hedlund, but I know that Pugh(Art) would never copy anyone's design.

Brand-X!

The oldest son, Alex, about 16 years old at the time as I recall, was running a Konig on one of his dad's "Pughburger's" and blew over testing. It was about dusk, I was there at our camp site up on the football field and heard it, I didn't see it. Motor running perfect, about 10,000 rpm, and then a quick momentary increase in rpm as the boat came out of the water and then silence. I knew instantly what had happened.

People ran from all directions to the ramp to see if they could help when Alex was brought in. All I can remember is that he was badly hurt.
