I figured Jeff thought this was a really good pic of the boat so I better host it for him...

The same run was made years ago by Powerboat Magazine owner Bob Nordskog. He did it for a charity that supplies seeing. eye dogs for the blind.

I don't remember the time he took, but at that time, it was a new record.

BTW for the old racers, we remember when this run was an actual race that started in Long Beach and finished in San Francisco. One year it was won by a 233 Formula with a single big block engine. Owner driver was Peter Rothschild and for crew he had Larry Smith of Scarab fame and Chuck Daigh who was a big time Indy car mechanic.
"The Race For Sight" - Guide Dogs for The Blind - San Rafael, Ca. The year was 1989.
 
Bob has already paid for everything for the run but if someone would like their company name on the boat contact me. We will have local tv coverage. and if you are in southern calif. I can bring the boat to events of yours to help you get that wow factor
