While surfing outboard history, I came across this.

"The Atlantic Crossing that you speak of was done by Jim Wynne, Ole
Botved of Botved-Coronet Outboard Motors, and one other pilot."

I assume your dad was the "other pilot."
Here's the funny thing.
When I first went into this link and clicked on
the hyperlink (the word "clip") in this:
"Here is a news clip from July 24, 1958"
I saw the newsreel. Most of it was about Egypt and something about
Krushchev.
But the end showed the boat and a nice shot of the 3 guys.
Some narration about the trip.
When I went into the link again, it wanted $5 bucks to see the clip.
You might want to pay if you can't see it free as I did, no doubt
because of a site glitch. It's a nice boating clip, and real nice
shot of the 3 crew mugging in close-up at the end.
Ever hear of the book "Iron Fist"?
It's a bio of Carl Kiekhaefer, founder of Mercury Marine.
Wouldn't mind reading that.
There's some interesting stuff out there about Jim Wynne and
Kiekhaefer and the invention of the stern drive.
Should interest boaters with a "historical" interest.
