Race Boat "charge it"
My boss has an old plaque that was giving to him. It is made out of steel and brass and is a 3d boat. Boat name is "Charge it" m588. There is a sponsor on the back which is Structural Steel Inc. The plaque is signed by Paul D Wellington. I tried to Google this info but came up with nothing. Just wondering if anyone on here knows anything.

The 27' Magnum sport? If so it was owned by several locals
and raced under several different names, OSO members
h2oboater and ironhead can give you all of the details.

It's really cool that there is so much knowledge and history on this site. I have a weird fascination for learning about all these classic offshore race boats. I own a 26ft cruiser now cause I had my first child 3 years ago. I needed more room then what my other boat had cause boating is kind of a way of life for us (as in fri-sun religiously) and I couldn't afford to buy a big offshore. Needless to say after I found the classic section on OSO, I just fell in love with all of the lines on these older boats and hope to soon find a retired race boat with a little history that needs a little TLC. Thanks for the info guys, I do appreciate it.
