When I get more time I'll scan more pictures. I was with Boardwalk Racing from 1987 till around 200? when Nicky retired from racing. Have lots of pictures from that era. Now I really feel old

My Dad sold his Shadow Cat to Nicky. Nicky still does all of the work on my AT, my brother's Fountain and my Dad's Progression. I cranked a bunch of beers with him Columbus Day weekend after I got kicked off the lake for noise. Here are pics of "The Duck" as it originally looked.
He are some pictures your father might want to see. As you probley known back in I think it was 1987 at the race in Michigan a power head blew and cut a gas line the deck of the Black Duck was burning so bad the Coast Guard sunk the Duck to put out the fire. It was the end of August now and we would be going to the Worlds in Key West as National Champ P-1. But had no boat. A new company Malelstrom stepped up to the plate and gave use a boat to run ( Hole anther story) While we ran a couple of differant Maelstroms for a little over a year. During that summer ( I think it was 89) a deck was put on the old Black Duck. I have picture of us rigging it but haven't scanned them yet. Below are the pictures of the new deck on the Shadow. First pic. is the first deck built notice upper deck behind cock pit closed in as E&B marine. Second pic the first time the boat was raced after the fire. I think its Alantic City 89 or 90. Third and fourth pic is after deck change opening up side for air intakes. This is the deck style that we kept till the end of the Black Duck racing career. I think she is still the most winning boat in offshore history
