One Long Boat

  1. Probably JFK's father smuggling whiskey and cigarettes, but it is a very nice boat.

    1. the irish mafia. did you know they control pretty much all the terrorism going on? at least the false flag shit in the western hemisphere, long tradition, very old sub-sect of the cabal, they run Massachusetts like a fiefdom, own it in fee simple, not unlike the central Soviet's Nomenklaturer, americanized.

  3. It is, or used to be about 15-20 years ago, homeported in Silver Bay on Lake George NY. It was built in the 1980s or 90s by Morgan Marine of Silver Bay which used to have the license to build modern Hacker Craft. I've seen it up close and it is a beautiful boat and will probably do 75 or so.

    This is a scaled down version @3/4 of the Gold Cup racer from the 30s called Ethyl Ruth IV. My uncle owned Ethyl Ruth, called Chloe at the time, in the 50s and 60s. No hatches for him. He had a monster Allison aircraft engine in it.

    You can see it under power here. If you look close, you can see the engine sticking up above the deck. I was forbidden as a kid to ride in it with my Uncle. (Yeah, like that stopped me) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQgPZ8CzP6Y about 1:50 in. Look close and you can see the exposed engine.

    At about 50 seconds, that's me in the outboard racer with my father. I must have been about 9.

    I think CW has featured Ethyl Ruth here before.
