The captioned riders and name of this boat are incorrect. It should be Fred and Joe Zbranak. This is ONE of the Zbranak's many "Orange Crates". Note the bending of the shaft!

 

Charlie Cron adds

 "This Orange crate MAY have been the "wet n wild" that destroyed her self in Toms River racing with the pinies in 1981(?) I do remember seeing her wing and go up on the beach. The driver as I remember had pins put in his foot and the rider needed a steel plate in his head. At any rate the "wet n wild" was for sure a 1 plank short freddie boat similar to this one. "
