Jensen Motor Boat Company 1950-59
UPDATE: 5/22/00
Note: The Jensen Motorboat Company was very busy during the 1950's building and repairing boats for the US Coast Guard. In Fact, Anchor had to ask the Regional Commander of the Coast Guard for permission
to delay work on CG boats so he could get the Slo-mo-shun V ready to race. More on the the reasons why will be available on the pages dedicated to each hydroplane.
