J-777 IMAGE A brand new Staudacher owned by Bobby Howard but driven by Marty Niles in St-Pete in 1979. This is the first photo from a sequence of 13 photos taken by Phil Kunz. Watch a video photo slideshow to see the sequence pf photos taken in order. You’ll note that Marty had some damage occur to the boat but did not back off in the next 2 photos (even with parts flying off), then the wreck occurred. He was okay and the hydro was rebuilt to run again.
