When we were in Fla, the guy that owned our favorite getaway hotel in Cocoa Beach had a restored 32’ Spectra.

Only saw it once.

He got involved in the Offshore races there but never met him.

He owned a way cool museum pc though!

There was a guy on here modifying a 1979 320Spectra years back.

That is JJ, this year he is racing a Phantom and his son will be in a class 7 boat, a Nitro from Europe (TFR racing). Matt did a write up on the team. Just got done with their helmets. He still has the Spectra. Always host the night before the race party at his club at the hotel, JT's social club. Good times.

Very cool!

Never got to meet him but saw the boat at the hotel on one of our many stays there.
His sister used to work the front desk and would tell me about him.

Loved that place!

Bet we stayed there 10+ times when we lived in Sebastian/Vero.

Was pet friendly so we could take the kids.

Used to be a bar at the pool too.

We’d take our mountain bikes and ride to the port and watch the ships leave and the **** show at the ramps when they were beside Grills.

Yes they put another cruise ship port in and moved the ramp further down the inlet, better place but that was always fun.

The bar is closed by the pool except for special occasions.

This was at a run a few years ago, not JJ driving, its Bruce from Express engine. He is building the race boat motors, also does the ones in Predator. Forgive the haze, my camera had fog from going inside AC to outside, didn't clear up till we got to Caption Hyrams.

Yeah, we’ve been to the Port since the changes.
Try to get there whenever in Fla.

Grills plastic draft beer cups said:

”Grills, home of the boat ramp follies!”

Been to the hotel just a couple yrs back too.

PS, I listen to the Clay and Buck show on I-heart and the station they carry is WMMB in Cocoa.

So their ad’s are local to the area.

Not sure if that’s good or bad for a guy that misses Fla every day 😂

Why can't I delete these bogus links? And what happened to the option to delete a post?

Is that from today, or is it a previous post? The delete and edit options have a time limit. I think it’s a couple of days, after which, only admin can edit/delete posts.

Post was from yesterday. The first link I put in something went wrong. I could edit the post but not remove the link. The link that says Original Link does take you to the ad. I can still edit the post except remove the bad link. And neither yesterday nor today is there any option to delete the post like there used to be (though that could have been removed years ago and I just haven't noticed it). Anyway, the Original Link takes you to the 353 Formula with a wakeboard tower.
