Tony Maricich ?

I read this morning, in my Fire Service Newsletter - In Memorial section - Los Angeles City Fire Department - the passing of

Fire-Fighter (retired) Anthony M. Maricich. I believe this to be the "great SK driver" of the 1960's/70's, Tony Maricich. If so, we've lost another legend of "boat racing" history !!

WANTED: Morse Command 200 rack cable 18'-19'

I am looking for one rack cable for the old Morse Command 200 system. Mine is 18'6", but I know it's an odd size, so thinking I can make an 18' or possibly 19' cable work in it's place.

Polyurethane vs. Gelcoat

The paint job on my boat has been damaed by fuel spills. If that was the only problem a spot repair would be possibility. Unfortunately there are many other problems in the paint job that can only be corrected by a complete refnish. The question is: finish with polyurethane or gelcoat? The gelcoat wil be fuel proof, but if I go with paint the gaphics could be more elaborate. I want to have the boat painted to period correct graphics for a '78 Sanger ski hydro. The boat will be used as a weeked hot boat, not show boat, so a hand sanded and buffed clear polyurethane top coat is not neessary.

Right now, I would go with the gelcoat color and gelcoat clear top coat. I haven't talked with a painter yet, but most of the boats I see on this website appear to be painted rather than gelcoated, so there must be a reason.

Please expain...

Thanks,
