I never got to see her race, But I've heard Grandma certainly held her own out there!

I don't know your Grandmother and I don't recognize the boat. Is it a Bay Craft???


Anyway, if you want to know about your Granmother's driving, look where the mag is!!! (FULL ADVANCED) The mag gives away the location of the throttles...and where the mag is, tells me she was FLAT OUT!!!!!

COOL picture!! Thanks for posting!!!

Ron you've got a good eye, this was a Baycraft hydro that we bought in 1962 from Gary Cervis of Wisconsin. Mom ran C alky on the boat which was a 12 foot version. That year she earned 3157 points to finish fourth in the season standings in Midwest Powerboat. It was a real accomplishment because there were 27 drivers in the C class in Midwest that year and 26 were men. I ran the boat in D hydro and finished second that year. Dad got into the act also and ran C and D runabout on an Ashburn. Mike Franck 67G
