In late 1959 we got mesmerized by Powercats and bought a few of them too. About that same time we switched from Comstock to Al's Outboard Service (Al Zink) on Venice Blvd. near Marina del Rey (the marina wasn't there then). Albert Jr. is still in the marine business in Lake Havasu at Al's Outboard. Ted Miller who worked at Al's in Venice as a mechanic in the '60s has had his own marine dealership in Boulder City, NV (All Seasons Marine) for years.
    That's cool Havasuing!!!! You've been around a while haven't you? Do you have any old pics you could share?

    Big River in 1970. I wish pops had laid down a little cash back then.

    Thanks Skyskier! I always enjoy your posts.

    I've always admired what the ski racers and speed skiers bring to the table. I remember seeing the speed skiers at Marine Stadium in the 70's and anyone who's entered the Catalina race has my respect.

    Anybody old enough to remember Hyawatha outboards? Here's my Pop's with 2 12 hp string pullers......The galley housed all of the cooking needs for a week of fishing on the Colorado river. Looks to be breakfast time...
