Hey Ken,
Yes he did, then Stuart in the late 70s.
David,
I do not agree with you. Boaters like Don Pinckert have done their best to promote the hobby for years through boat kits, and numerous innovations that we all use, and benefit from in many different forms today. We have come a long way from Stinger cast rudder assemblies, Kool Clamps, and Kraft radios. Boating hardware is readily available today, and we have expanded to include gas and FE classes. I miss the development of the variety of hulls developed by many over the years, but believe today's boaters have much better equipment available to them today largely due to the efforts of boaters like Don Pinckert and many others over the years. CHEERS!!! Bob
