[Glen Elliott]

Just purchased a Dispro from The GREAT LAKES HISTORICAL SOCIETY in OHIO.This boat was restored by Bud "gooch" Gobielle prior to 1988 from what i am tolled. the question is, does any one know this gentalman and wood it be possible to make contact with each other. I am trying to get as much history on this boat as possible. The name of JULIA is on the craft at this time. Thanks to all for responding

Seems like I recall reading about a fairly active Dispro owners group in Ohio or maybe Penn. Annual Rallys, etc. It was maybe five years ago in WB. Intresting boats. I'll se if I can find the article when I get home.

Guess I was a little off on the date. Time does fly when you get old. The Dispro article was in issue 55, Nov/Dec 1983. The boats were also on the cover, called the "Greatest Little Motorboat".

There is a Dispro Boat Associaton in Canada and the address is listed on this site----> http://www.classic-boats.net/boatclub.htm
