I?m sitting here watching it live as a patrol boat. Ski races still going

The schedule showed a half hour buffer between the ski race and enduro warm up. I wish they were we casting the ski race as well.

Where are you stationed?

One blowover with the boat at the bottom, one driver ejected from his boat, and the winner gets run into waiting for his trailer. Great race other than that.

I forget the mans name, but he was in a Yamaha powered boat. He drove the four hours solo.

If it's the Yamaha powered boat he earned it! It's a real deal factory powered stick motor on an old sleek craft and it hauls ass!! I believe he owns sea witch marine! John is his name if memory serves.

It did say Sea Witch on the side of the boat.

The 48 with Al Stoker was leading but had engine trouble in the last minutes of the race and had to be trailered. They made it back out for a few laps at the end but not enough to take bake the lead.

The winning #147 boat was John Haddon the owner of Sea Witch Marine in Vista, CA. The dealership opened in 1970, a strong Yamaha dealer and not particularly known for high performance (they mainly deal in center console outboard fish boats -- Sea Fox). John's boat is a vintage 20' SST Sleekcraft (Mod-VP style), the same hull that Kim Howard used to drive/race so successfully for Sleekcraft about 35 years ago. Not certain about this, but I believe John drove the entire four hours on his own.

Take a boat off your sales lot slap some stickers on it and win a Enduro race. Pretty bad ass. Should help sell that boat. There was some great racing going on today.

They said he ran the four hours himself, and won the iron man award two years ago for the same.

His body must be sore, but I bet he doesn't mind.

I did that race and drove the whole time it will work you. Congratulations to the winning driver doing it the right way.

When you think about iron-man driving, four hours doesn't seem like that much when you consider that Mike Wallace in his U-7 Rayson Craft "Tiny Tim" (Louie Unser 427 Hi-Riser Ford power) and Bob Nordskog in his "Shark's Tooth" Nordskog hull both won the Parker 9-Hour on separate occasions driving the entire nine-hours without a relief driver.

That boat has run the Enduro for a number of years. They have done extensive testing and modifications on that boat and they worked very hard for that win. They were 2 laps down but the leader had some issues and they were able to take the win. Congats to them and all that raced :thumbsup

Rod Zapf, He won his class and was 5th overall, 80 years old and used to race unlimiteds and was a navy fighter pilot and retired commercial 747 captain, pretty amazing guy still doing what he loves

OK, maybe he gets a pass :bowdown:

No maybe. Maybe there is a reason he is retired. Drive ur shit right or put it on the trailer , or in this case on another guys boat.

Although he does have an impressive resume [emoji202]

Forwarded the live feed link to a friend and neighbor who raced the 9 hour in a Mandella Marathon hull in the 70's.
So I run into the grumpy ole fuck at a party last evening and the first thing he asks is "Why did you send that to me ?"
I replied, that I thought he'd enjoy seeing the modern variation of the Enduro, he just chuckled and ask "So when does the racing start ?" :D
