What I find interesting is that all of the 21's racing history (I think) is with an outboard or two attached.

Yet according to specs. and the number of original 21's around there never was an outboard model produced.

This leads me to two questions if some one can answer them...CARLA (how come we never talked about this? Ask Dad will you)

Why he never raced the I/O ( 327 chevy. back then was a hot rod).

Why production models never featured a outboard?

More history!

You can see boat #31 running in a real short clip here at 11:30 into the video. The boat is running nice and flat.

Terry,

According to Jeanne Moesly's records on Carla's web site, there was at least one I/O 21 race boat. "Luzanne" won a race in Puerto Rico in Nov. 1962 running a 225 HP MerCruiser! http://www.moeslyseacraft.com/upload...lts-jmp1-6.jpg

Wow, talk about wearing the 'Way Back Helmet'!
Loved the video of the old race.

Thank you,
