Fast Things

  1. I believe that the boat used to be named Chloe (Also ethyl Ruth) it belonged to my uncle Bob Henry on lake geotge NY.

    When he had it, the hatch covers were stored in the boathouse because he had a mammotn allisonn aircraft engine in it. No mufflers of course.

    I was ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN!!! to ride in it.

    What, you really think that would stop a 10 year old when uncle say "wanna ride?"

    It scared the absolute crap out of me booming down the lake sounding like a b17 raiding Berlin. It scared the crap out of me every single time but I never said no.

    My parents were probably right. It was way overpowered and unsafe as hell.

    I'd go again tomorrow.

    He also owned Juno, another unlimited gold cup hydroplane that you have featured her. Also scary fast.
