Have any of you "Old Timers" heard of Paul Charette?
I was talking to my Grampa today and told him I was going to be hydro racing next summer. He look at me in surprise saying he use to race. He said he thinks he started racing in 1959 and raced until about '62-'63, he raced in Maine/NH mainly. He raced a B class runabout and B class three point hydro that he built, he said he bought a kit from popular mechanics. He said his number was either 68 or 69 because that was his hydros top speed. He said he ran a "Mickey Mouse" two bladed stainless prop on a 20h. He said he was even state champ one year (Maine).
Hope this brings back some memories... If any of you do remember him, he will be at some of my races next summer :):):)
