The really "Old School" boating thread

Yeah, I need to find out what they were doing during that period. I can't believe there were enough endurance races to keep them that busy. That's would have been during the E.T. period as well. Maybe the I.E. category had their own deal going on at the time.

You aren't kidding about the number of hydros that ran during that time. The capsule deal killed hydros on the west coast for some reason.

Yeah Bob, I never saw an et race....?

The Speed and Marine was the coolest E.T. ever built, with a coolest sound when it was flat out.
I think the biggest reason they died out is the long races went away. The GNs could adapt to short courses and short race lengths. But the E.T.s really need course length to stretch their legs.
Nordskog did pretty well in the E.T./K.T. classes as well.
