The really "Old School" boating thread

It might be yours. It's hard to tell from the pic.

I love the paint jobs of the Biesemeyer and first Revenge Epidemic boats.

I see an Elsinore 250 enduro is on the schedule for next year ..... what classes would this include?

tentative would be the best description for that race date.
The boats would be no different than those that ran the Parker Enduro. There are no real "class" names for them. Just divided into divisions based on engine size, hull types and drive system, inboard and outboard.

thanks, I know very little about the enduro's and what I do know was pretty much from reading about this years parker race....... really liking all the history here about em. I'm pretty close to Elsinore so hopefully it happens.

As a kid watching boat races at Long Beach Marine Stadium, I remember how scary a boat flip was. I'll never forget the carcasses they pulled from the water on the hook of the crane. Gave me the heebeegeebees.

I've never seen one of these in person.

What's amazing Bob is, my copy of that august 61 powerboat mag has the same orange line running down the front. That had to be a rough landing....
