Roy was owner/share holder in Yellow Jacket Boats in Denison Tx. As a promotion,Roy,Carl Kiekhaefer(Kiekhaefer Mercury pioneer) and friends came down Red river in 3 Yellow Jackets powered by twin 25hp Thunderbolts.

I still have the mark 30 from a Yellow Jacket me and my brother bought used in 1966.

Say what you will about authenticity of Roy's movies but that feller could sing.
