05-01-2009 10:45 AMThe name Awesome comes from the response that Richie Powers gave to Don after coming back from the ocean test of one of the new 35 foot designs.
The first 35 went to Bob Nordskog and he never really set it up right...he was looking for all out speed rather than an all around fast boat that could handle the ocean too.
Finally Richie Powers set one up as the 35 Dry Martini race boat and took it out for the ocean test. Don was waiting for his reaction to the test and the first thing Richie said when he returned to NE 188th St was.....Awesome.
Don grinned and used the name for this production model boat with the high lift deck.
The other 35 with the flat deck, was known as the Mistress.....the ad read..."Every man should have one".Light travels faster than sound....that is why some people appear bright until we hear them speak!!

Ratickle. I don't have the HIN as yet, the boat is on the mainland and I'm on the island. I am hoping for better photos and more information (Including HIN) soon. How is the HIN deciphered?
