2004 | Steve David
David has served APBA for over 25 years. He raced Inboard hydroplanes in the 1970s and later became commodore of the Florida Inboard Racing Club. He then co-founded the Ft. Lauderdale Professional Power Boat Racing Association, and served as race chairman for several big events - all while competing.
He was a member of the Unlimited Racing Commission Board of Directors and was Chief Referee of APBA Offshore. On the national level, he served as APBA President for two years and as Sr. Vice President for four years.
David has been inducted into the APBA Hall of Champions six times, earning countless racing titles and records. As President of APBA, Steve convinced his friend Gene Whipp to become Offshore Chairman. Gene was able to bring a struggling category back.
Now, once again, Steve works closely with Offshore. Steve is a loyal and dedicated member of APBA who has always served when asked. He is always one of the first to volunteer to work on committees where he is needed, and does not ask how much time is involved - he just does it.
