Funny thing my wife and inlaws were there, just 1/2 mile away on 3rd street, just up the hill from the school in the background... And apparently knew NOTHING OR didn't give a crap about the goings on in Marine Stadium EVEN with my father in laws penchant for boating/racing...
SHarpShooter, does this say REX MARINE??? How long have they been around??? DId Mike start Rex Marine or???

Jack Rex started Rex Marine back probably like 79...? Obnoxious knows the story he was there.

The 79 date kind of dates the picture in that case IF that is a old RexMarine logo on that boat.Quote:

My third close friend had someone "touch it up" (just before I bought it) and now all that original Sanger paint detail is gone... :(
Who knows, maybe Billy/Harlin painted mine... ;)
It looked like antique crackle paint, I thought it was bitchen the way it had aged...
Yeah maybe, the photographer of the front facing pic I posted was said to be '76. Looking at the paint I would say the 76 pic is earlier than the starting rope pic. :coolQuote:

Does the 200MPH Miss Budwiser give a clue about the age of these? OR the CAB OVER design of the boat images?

Probably mid to late 60's.Quote:

The Budweiser button probably is from that same early to mid 1970s period when Billy Schumacher and Mickey Remund we're doing the driving chores for Bernie Little. The Atlas Van Lines button would would be mid to late 1960s when Bill Muncey was at the wheel. When he wasn't hydro racing, Muncey was giving motivational talks to groups (Kiwanis, Rotary, etc.) on behalf of Atlas Van Lines and writing a monthly column for Powerboat Magazine.
:thumb: ty for the info... I think that I paid a total of $11.00 for the three, I don't see many boat racing related items at the Long Beach Antique mall consignment spaces...Quote:
