Big surprise at Standish, Maine race today, Dr. Roger Moscoso, President of Ecuador Boat Racing Club from Ecuador offered Mike Ackerstrom, the winner of the C Runabout, ( Standish Maine ) an all expenses paid trip to Ecuador to race in the Ecuador Regatta Guayaquil Vinces marathon in March of 2018. Thank you, Euador Boat Racing & President Moscoso. I'm sure you won 't be disappointed with the show, that South Shore Outboard Association's " Iron Mike " Ackerstrom can put on.

The boats are copies of 10' Austins. The water is smooth, nothing like Top 'O. There was some crud in my fuel tank & didn't finish. Make sure that's ok - take a filter with you. Pack a 50' roll of throttle cable in your suit case. This is something they can't get down there, you will make lot's of friends. There is a BIG party with loud music at the end of the race. Take ear plugs with you. (For the party, not the race)
