Ya I've got those too! Really cool magazines!!!

Thanks for the back issue and also the $10 subscription. I almost feel guilty getting PB that cheap.

A couple more good ones.

You're welcome. I got several emails from old HB peeps on their favorite issues which brought back a lot of fond memories. Cracking the covers and researching was great.

Anyone remember the red vdrive in readers rides, gray tweed interior? I want to say it was a Rayson Craft but I could be wrong. Would love to see pics of it again. Thinking it was early to mid 90's.

I was going to post the Nov/Dec 1998 issue that SS loaded. The June 1998 Bikini issue ain't bad either.

Who has this one?

I've been reading Kevin Spaise's work for nearly as long as I can remember and I've also enjoyed Bob Browns contribution over the decades.

Hey Chris, do you have any pics or Brochures from Sundown Marine? I know your dad worked with Bob Long in that venture.

Powerboat is another great publication. I think I have issue 1 dated back to 58 or so.


Here's some of my archives.
I've got a dosen or so of these. Chuck Stearns was the man!

That is a killer selection!!!!
There must be some really great tech info in those old mags, before they started filling them up with more and more advertisements, and crappier content. I really think the internet killed the Magazine Industry. The last 10 years or so of Hot Boat were a joke. Same with Truckin, Sport Truck and all those other magazines I used to waste money on.

Anyways, my favorite had two Schiada's on it running next to each other. I'll have to find it.

I've got a couple. Not sure how legit the tie-in was between Elvis feature and the magazine but I'm good with it.
