Anyone know what happened to Paul Pachmayer?

[Steven Vaccaro]

I know he got out of electrics but all the gas sites seem to be down?

I'm in good contact with Kelly Brooks...do you want Paul's #? He talks to him on occasion.

[raptor347]

He's off playing with other toys and business. I talk to him fairly regularly.

Yes, boats went the way of do-rags. You can see his new efforts here:

I found that link when I search for his name and couldnt believe it. The man could build a great wooden boat.

Some of Pauls builds are still racing around the country too. I've never seen anything he buit that was junk.

[johnnyoverkill]

He had the fastest stuff out at Batavia too! Of course he still lived up in Antioch back then... man time flies!

Hey Guys,

How's things going! I'm still around and running boats. I'm more the sport boater now and got a bit fed up with the politics of racing. Still have a mix of gas and FE boats although I do like running the gas boats more, really because of the size and run time. I had a decision to make early 2009 and quit building boats for a job, it just didn't seem worth it anymore. I started the new business and it took off well, got employees now, go figure. It's nice to know I wasn't completely forgotten, I'd like to think I contributed a little something along the way.

Paul.

Hey Paul...good to see you are alive and well! About ready to build me a fast gas...looking at a Redline Motor...made in Missouri. I hear they are sweet.

[AlanN]

Darn,
I thought it might have been a good time to post that pic of you peeing on the pines in MI again! "Has anybody seen me?!?!?!?" LOL

Good to hear from you Paul.

[T.S.Davis]

Oh careful with that Alan. There are some incriminating photos of you out there too. hahaha

Fred and I still tell stories about Paul and Larry arguing over who know what over a campfire around midnight in OH. That was the first race I remember seeing Lipo running in quantity.

Paul, you and your boats left a lasting impression on some of us. Some of your positions on various things have stayed with me for years too. The politics (at least in actual racing) has died down quite a bit with me out of the way. haha

[AlanN]

Oh careful with that Alan. There are some incriminating photos of you out there too. hahaha

Howard swears he deleted them.

Memorable Paul moments: Thinking he was running another rigger while his ran into the toilet bowl wall.
Running his Q off shore and dominating the hell outta an offshore crowd. Which BTW we changed the course for every new heat.
I did feel really bad for Paul when he came out to a race in OH and the first heat and first turn he hopelessly watched the his hull sink 10 ft from shore and never got it recovered.
When his manly size broke the drivers stand in MI, nearly dumping us all in the drink! (well I think it was due to Paul)
He and Dennis singing "Oh Canada" to the tun of "Oh Xmas Tree" while we were in the middle of a Toronto park the club used to run at. Mind you, there were all walks of life in the park at the time.
Setting me up with my first BIG full size FE mono.
Building and running one of the first FE 1/8 scales.
Drinking and BS'ing all nite long after a day of racing.....where has all that time gone??????

[photohoward1]

Nice to here from you. I still run the Gas Whip you built for me (FE). Still decorating boats with Sharpie pens?

[properchopper]

I still love this one.... IMG_6323.jpg


Paul, the Drifter S you built for me that set the 2006 NAMBA LSO SAW record is still rippin' around in the hands of a club member (now brushless & lipo). Howdy
