    I know Frank Place fairly well and could put you in touch with him. Oh, but if I remember right I'm the guy that didn't know anything.

    Spectrasonly,
    Tell me what issues you have in the Popular Performance Boat and I will buy them from you. I have a huge collection of boat mags. Tthat date back to the early 1950's. I may have to trade you for some Spectra T-shirts.

    Hi Dropkeel,I'm still looking for some pictures for placecraft,in the meantime there's a little info.The Place brothers had a placecraft boat called "Going Places" that broke the 150 MPH barrier for jetboats.Guitarmaker Bernie Rico was competing in one with a Donovan engined blown jet called "Rich Bich".I remember seeing him in this boat in one of my magazine that I have trouble finding.The Place brothers got out of racing probably around 1982 and focused on their placdiverter buiseness I guess.
