Ryan is correct on what I was saying the boat I was referring to was the quarter canopy boat that Lorne Leibel and Bobby Idoni raced in 89

smitty smith was a funny guy, I was talking to him at 94 kw, talked about him and joe mach, and I tend to talk a lot, so my wife said can you take him for a ride and he sad sure he can sit on my lap.
he was throttling the yellow couger from canada I think a 38 footer, could be wrong. its sad he passed away too. that was when gentry rolled went in to a coma that sucked and passed away years later.I was talking to BOBBY MOORE the winning throttleman after the race in open class 94, I was happy that he won but we were sad about TOM , NOT KNOWING how he was doing.that was a good week of racing I think there was over a 100 boats.

I've got some great old pics at home. I'll see if I can track them down, scan them in, and post them in the appropriate forum. I've got quite a few "top secret" images as well which, since the boat is now decommissioned, could probably be shared.
Gonna' go check out the rest of the community now. Take care folks!
Peace!

Hi there...this is my first post but for good reason. I sometimes google my family to see what's happening around the net with them. Harold "Smitty" Smith was my cousin and when googling his name, I found this thread. I was very close to Cousin Smitty and have missed him tremendously these past years. It seems like just yesterday I was down at his shop in Palm Coast checking out the 50' Cat during an engine rebuild. Man was that thing fast!
