Return to: Seattle Outboard Association 4918 184th Pl SW Lynnwood, WA 98371 Seattle Outboard Association PIT PREVIEWS Celebrating 87 years of Bringing Boat Racing to the Pacific Northwest April 2016 An interview with Hans Moen Seattle Outboard’s Oldest Member Passes - Part 3 In the previous two issues of Pit Previews, Hans Moen has discussed his early life and his years of racing. In this, the final installment of the interview, he recaps a few more memories of his outboard racing years and discusses what he has been doing recently. Have you been to the inboard races at Pateros? I was gonna go down there but I had company so I couldn’t go. And there’s gonna be a race on Chelan, the 21st and 22nd. The old, rebuilt hydros. The old vintage boats. Yeah, yeah. I’m gonna go to that. But like I say, they put me on a medication that drug me down for 10 days, you might say. Just now kinda gettin’ built up again. I thought they had the bladder problem solved, you know, but I don’t think it’s solved yet. See what happens. When you have to get up five or six times a night, you don’t get any sleep. So, anyway. I’ve been here now 10…The wife passed away in ’93. I go to the senior’s lunches about three times a week, in Brewster. Do my own cookin’. I’ve learned a lot of cooking. Right now we’re in the act of rebuilding my deck. Oh, OK. It’s been there for 20 years, and the underpinning was beginning to get wiggly. The deck was all redwood. Oh. So we used half of the redwood and put in new 2x4’s. We got the deck all together, and we got to put new railing up. My son’s helping me with that. He lives in Spokane but he comes over. He and his wife both came last time last trip, and spent three days here. Got all the deck wood up. I had a canopy over the front door. Well, gotta replace it. Little by little. OK, well, one last question.You’re 100 years old now aren’t you? I’ll be 101 in November. OK. That’s great. It’s comin’ up. Well, you know, my boat racing never had anything other than maybe a skinned knuckle or something. Not that serious, any of our flipping. Got wet, sure. First couple years we raced why, the wife says I’m gonna bring along plenty of dry clothes. But after two or three years and stuff, we learned, you know, experience. We had, my son had a trailer of his own for a while, but he was draggin’ it around with a small car. It didn’t work out, so he sold the trailer. I built my trailer to haul two boats, and we hauled all the engines in my trailer. Just one rig. And then when he decided he didn’t want to do it anymore, I think I went to a couple of races after he quit. And the wife was gettin’ a little bit tired of it, so I said, “OK, we’ll quit.” Lots of good times, some a little bit… One year, we went to Wyoming to races. That particular year I put 10,000 miles on a pick-up, camper, just hauling boats to races. 10,000 miles in one year. That’s a lot of driving. But I had a good year, but the races in Wyoming didn’t turn out too good. The official didn’t show up and didn’t show up, and finally we had to make up a crew of our own. I remember, I’m not sure if Rockey was still racing at that time. Oh, he was still racing. I’ve still got one of those cast iron engines out in the yard. I didn’t know at the time, a lady down here had an auction sale. A friend of mine says…the engine’s got a name on it. I said “I’ll go look at it.” Well, I know the auctioneer real Story continues on Page 2 Meeting Minutes 2/27/16 Activity Reports: Stock: Matt Iarno and Ron Magnuson passed along Information from Jeff Brewster (SO vice-chairman) regarding SO/ Mod/J Nationals in West Virginia.

If you’ve got intereting stories, photos, or articles, please contact Jim at: sloughrace59r@centurylink.net 3 We got a lot of waste stuff on there, I’ll have wood for all winter long. Won’t have to worry about burning my stove in the shop. You know, everybody says, “Are you gonna burn all the redwoods?” I said, “Well it’s pretty well rotted out.” I said, “What we’ve put in down here, we’ve cut all the ends off and just used the good pieces.” As you can see. Those stripes out there? The black ones are all the redwood And we flipped it. We put in all new beams. When I first built it I had it on fourfoot centers. Well, it was a little bit springy. So now we went in made it on two-foot centers. More sturdy. It’ll last my lifetime, I guess. Hans Moen Continued from Page 1 well. And he says, “Are you lookin’ for that engine?” I said not very hard, but I kind of have it for a souvenir. So, some Mexicans bid $15, $17, and I bid $20. The Mexicans bid $22. And I said, “$25.” The auctioneer said, “Sold,” before to number so and so, before anybody could say a damn word. So along with it I got two Johnsons in the same sale. There was a pallet laying there with these two engines on it. So I bought all three. And, that particular cast iron engine, a friend of mine wants it. He left me a $30 down payment if I ever want to sell it. It’s the original, what we started with. Of course, we stripped ‘em all down so they were lighter. Only thing we saved was the gas tank. The lower unit was different. Anything that we didn’t need on ‘em. you know, doctor’s call. I go to Omak to Wal-Mart and do my shopping.” When we were building the deck here my son has got one of those power nailers. Well, it was running out of nails. I went to the hardware store in Brewster. Naw, we gotta think about that. And I had to go to Home Depot in Omak. 2up there. But were’re gonna put up new rail on the top. Then we’re gonna run one beam right through the middle. So it’ll take some more nails yet. We’ll have enough. Yeah, yeah. APBA Capsule Training 2016 But I still have a few lawn mowers to work on, a few weed eaters. Lately I’ve turned ‘em down. I’m just plain too tired any more. Can’t do it. By the time I get my lawn mowed and sprinklers set in, I’ve got a day in. Yeah. One thing I did, a year ago, I had to go to Omak to get my driver’s license. Well, a lot of rigamaroll, the same guy that has given me my driver’s license the last five times, was still there. He was still passing, writing out the licenses. Well, he was on the grumpy side. There were probably 10 Mexicans waiting to get a driver’s license. So he looked down and questioned me and questioned me. “Look,” I said, “What’s all this about?” “Well, I’m supposed to do this and supposed to do that.” I said, “OK, you know me.” “Yeah. Give me the money.” Paid him off and he says, “Hold on, this is for five more years.” I said, “I’ve got to have my driver’s license. My longest trip was to Wenatchee, Yeah. But we got the deck on, that was the main thing. I was gonna paint it but, “No, we’re gonna come over and stain it.” OK, OK. “Why do you want paint?” Anyway, he says, “I’ll come over and I’ll paint it. It’ll be a redwood stain.” “OK, OK, it’s your baby.” Anyway, we’ll see what happens. Yeah. I’m sure it will, yeah. You might say I’ve had a pretty decent life.

And I hope it’s on the mend. Yeah, that’s kinda rare. Yeah, it’s rare. But she’s a good doctor. Yeah. Well, I think we’ve covered a lot. Yeah, sometimes it takes a while. I think we’ve done pretty well. Yeah, the doctor says, “Give it time, give it time.” I’m gonna talk to her tomorrow. She and I had a pretty good…she’s been my doctor for two years now. They wanted to switch me to a doctor up here in Brewster, and I said, “No, hell no, I’m gonna stay with my same doctor. I ain’t gonna change.” So, in fact, she’s been here at my house often. They were camped in a campground in Bridgeport. They were a little chilly, so they came out here and borrowed wood that they were burning in their burning pit. So, got pretty well acquainted. A doctor coming out of a big hospital and coming to your home. Yeah. Probably a lot of stuff there that, you know, we could dig down and find out. We’ve had some problems and other things. Yeah. Thank you. J-Project Relocation The SOA/HARM J-Hydro building project has been relocated closer to the museum in a nearby annex located at: 19802 62nd Ave South Kent, WA.
