1859 – The name Strawberry, came from Berry's alleged
practice of feeding travelers' horses with straw, while the owners had paid for hay. Yet another story indicates that Berry’s lodge featured thin straw mattresses. Visitors would call for “More straw, Berry!” Hence the name –
Strawberry.

L. Gordon Hamersley 1925
The V-12 produced 625 horsepower.
First all aluminum race boat ever built. At speeds of 67 mph the boat wanted to ride up on its chine and threatened to roll-over. Clarke determined the Allison was unsafe .

R. Stanley Jr. 1937
R. Stanley Jr. acquired the aluminum racer from Hammersley in 1937 and brought her to Lake Tahoe.
Seventy-five years after her first victory, the boat would go back in the water under her own power. A Mercury Marine, V-8, 420 hp. Subsequent operation has proved the weight to power ratio of the new configuration to be the best ever. Running on Tahoe at 6,226 feet above sea-level, at about 90% of throttle, she was recently clocked by a follow boat at 55 mph.
August of 2003, Mercury made her debut at the Concourse d'elegance, Tahoe's annual antique boat show. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=23085
