Special Request

[Top Banana]

HORBA has a special request.

We were contacted by someone who is looking to locate a special boat.

The boat was a 38 foot Bertram originally called COPPER KETTLE.

It was owned and driven by Sandy Satullo. The boat was owned and campaigned later by Arnold Glass and Paul Clauser. Glass left the name alone, but Clauser renamed it SATISFACTION.

The original throttleman and someone close to him would like to find this boat again....if it still out there.

Anyone who can help us find this boat, please send the information to us by posting on here or e-mail directly to HORBA at www.historicraceboats.com

Must add that after the Satisfaction that boat became FLAP JACK for Howard Quam in 1980-82.

None of those boats was the former Copper Kettle.
That in the post # 1 and # 6 should be the former Needle Nose.
Phil Lewis could confirm it.
That in the post # 5 is the former Natural Light of Henn.

When I worked for Trick Paint in Miami 1983-86 (in the same building as Target Trailer, 53rd st) We had that boat in the shop, I think Donald (Rossi) the owner of Trick Paint Owned the boat at that time. I don't know where it went after that, but it very well could have changed colors then.

Marco - the boat in post #1 - was Sandy Satullo's orriginal boat made for him - it was the first Bertram made of Kevlar, and was laid up too heavily - thus was strong - but a very heavy boat - My boat in Post # 6 - in the other threat "with Kurt's MUG SHOT" is my boat that was built for me.

Howard Quams FLAP JACK, was the boat that Smiley Johns was killed in, during the Turnberry race, in '81, I believe. Phils boat NEEDLE NOSE, was sold to Don Smith of Chicago, REALLY RIDICULOUS, David Gilmore and I ran that boat.

Right Bobby - do you need any cool snow down there in Sunny Florida ? only 18 inches last weekend, probably another 12 tonight -

Phil

 

[Bobby Sheer]

Hey Phil. I was up there weekend before last. Delivered an oversize Pursuit to Cape Cod. Spent three days in a truck stop in Va. 18" of snow and a German Sheperd. God, I hate the cold. Are you coming down for Miami show?

 

[skrap]

Hey Phil,
How about we meet for lunch tomorrow...in Miami with Bobby! We probably couldn't get down there at this point anyway. Get your shovel ready. We'll hook up after the snow passes.

Miles Johns is that greets in the picture.
The race was not in 1981 but the former Sam Griffith Memorial-the Bacardi Trophy off Miami in 1980.

 

[Bobby Sheer]

Could be 1980, race was run out of Turnberry Isle. Flap Jack broke a steering ram, spun out. Howard and his son Lester were thrown out, but Smiley was so big, he was stuck in the bolster, and broke his neck. His wife was in labor that very day. Everybody that finished in the money, (including me) donated their prize money to his widow. Smiley was a great guy and a great competitor.

John - would be fun - however I need practice with my snow blower! -
Bobby - I know how it feels- Cabin Fever is terrible - You are lucky - you get to swim every day - lounge around the pool -! haha ! Hope you are well Bobby - and John - stay out of trouble !

Scott.....can you get any more specific?

How long ago did you hear this and do you know the people involved in the restoration?

Does anyone know how to get a hold of these people in Canada?

 

[Scott H.]

It was about 2 years ago. I will look back at my notes and see if I can get more info for you
