Here's a shot of Harley Wilson from about 1985 taken in St. Louis. I think this boat was shortened by cutting some length off the back. Funny side note Harold Simburger was inspecting and he rigged...
Here are some random photos, Misc. molinaris, bouy trouble at Saint Louis, and sst140s
Here is a shot of a Lee craft at the marathon nationals in 1975.I could be wrong on the year.
here is a shot of Roddy's formula 100 Kaos boat. Tracy Hawkins used this same hull in sst 120 and even won the nationals with it.
Someone needs to rig up a etec 90 evinrude. I'd be curious to see how it would compare to a sst60 or an old SE 75 omc.
I could be wrong but I think Barry's boat is a Seebold. The rear cowling is alot taller than a Scotti.

HydraSports ran some kevlar mod50 boats in about 1976 or 1977 if I remember correctly. I remember a yellow mod50 boat at the opc marathon nationals in Gunterville Alabama but I can't remember who...
It does look like one of those Seebold SE boats but with a cut down LeeCraft rear cowling. I would be more sure if I could see a rear view of this boat.
The white SE boat is Ed Caudill from the dallas area I think.
