I remember seeing "Lil Rebel" in Lake George a week after the Benihanna and it had Plexiglass engine covers. As a kid, I thought this was so kool to see the engines! Does anyone have pics of the after-market engine hatches?

I grew up near Port Huron, and got hooked on these boats in the 70's. I'm loving all of the great pics, thanks so much for sharing & bringing back some great memories!

Didn't see a pic with the cowboy hat but the one with Preston Henn flipping somebody off was pretty funny.

I was the driver and engine builder of the A911 Velocity. It was a 366ci small block. That boat was a hand full and yes AJ had big ones on the thottle and tabs. Those were great times.
