12-16-2009 08:31 AMDon Aronow: The King of Thunderboat Row by Michael Aronow- this was a good read. They are out of print so going to cost you a $350+ to get it (notice correct spelling of last name vs your title post as well).
Searace- by John Crouse has a lot of history, the bible of history, but was kind of boring to me. A lot about stats and who won what with what times when but was more in chart format than telling a story IMHO. Worth buying at $75 but not my cup of tea is the best way to say it. HORBA sells them

12-16-2009 11:49 AMI picked up a copy of Thunderboat Row for Rob when we got married 6.5 years ago as his wedding gift for $75. I can't believe the price they want for the same book today.

Offshore Racing wasn´t designed to be a spectator sport, it's for people or companies with's lots of money to push the envelope of endurance technology and hopefully put a trophy on a mantle. It's man vs the elements, not like boats with like engines running in circles.

12-17-2009 07:14 PMThere may or may not be bootlegged copies out there for those that just wanted to read the book vs coughing up a bar bill for a copy...
If one were to have a copy if they even existed; can't say I blame them since they took it out of production...

12-17-2009 08:25 PMI just finished Blue Thunder By Thomas Burdick
It was a decent read...and only $7.95, used on Amazon. But I can make a sleeve that says King of Thunder Boat Row and sell it to you for $250."A party isn't a party until someone gets naked!"
