I know it's a few years late from when this thread was posted, but my father and uncle bought Conrad Kersch's boat's a few years ago, including the one pictured. My dad also bought his motors. Kersch passed away and his niece was selling some of his racing gear. I could post some pictures of the boats if you're interested. I currently drive one of the shovelnose boats that he raced. The boat drive's like a dream.

John.
The cowling looks more like a Lundy.
Craig has most of my pictures right now
so I cant be sure .I will get them back and
check it out.
The Lundy had a ridge down the middle of the
cowling and I don't remember the Coutts having that.
Jon Stone won the nationals in 1970 DSH in a Coutts.

Look at the old bubble-visor on the helmet in the first photo. Lotsa guys had those, a Bell accessory for their open-front helmets in the Sixties. Mine was the flip-back hinged type, worked well. But some guys had the snap-on variety, and if one of them happened to turn his head around far enough to look behind him in the middle of a race, the wind might catch the inside of that visor, unsnapping it and losing it over the side.

Leigh,

Having said that, yeah I agree looks more like a Lundy than one of Jim's but didn't know about the seam/ridge.
Thanks for chiming in, how are you doing.

Mike had his own bow handles cast with "LUNDY" on either side. I can't tell whether this is one from the images but it doesn't look like an ordinary handle.
At first I thought Coutts but the sponsons look a little short. Now I think Lundy.
