    Agree that Hledin is definitely a huge influence on the sport.
    But, I'm standing by Carl as #2 behind Don.
    An argument could be made that Don would have never made it to where he did without Carl K's innovations.
    I think the same could be said for Peter.
    I think Pete could certainly be a top 10 contender, but not number 2, and I mean that with the utmost respect.

Peters has...... just common sense with a degree in ........................and to tell you the truth i can preannounce the word better then i could ever spell it .

    Artie, I'm not arguing with you at all about Pete's input on hulls and materials. Not in the least.
    But, without the propulsion and controls developed by Carl K those hulls would be nothing. He wouldn't have had the oppurtunity to push the limits - I see it as a push/pull between the hull builders and the propulsion builders. Each challenging each other.
    Kinda like the old TV commercial "you got your peanut butter on my chocolate", "No, you got your chocolate in my peanut butter".
    Instead, try " My boat will break your motors", "No, my motors will destroy your boat"
    Sure, there are other power packages available now, but at the time, Mercury was the most innovative.

    Peter will probably make my Top 10, but I don't have him in my Top 5.
