Help! I need to identify this boat mold

[T hess66]

I was directed to this forum from Scream and Fly. I was told there were lots of older boat racers on here that may be able to help me out. I have a mystery 15/16 ft tunnel hull boat mold that i bought out of Jacksonville last week from a man named Lonnie Gilmore. From what he was told, it was one of Danny Critchfield's, but at this point it is really a toss up. Here is the link to the thread on Scream and Fly, like i said I was told you guys really knew your stuff about older race boats and i really would like to find out the information on this hull. I will really appreciate any help or information, thanks.

To me it looks very much like a updated design of the boats built by Allan Stinson.
Looks like the front air release openings have been enclosed. Which is what the drivers would do.
The Stinson was running very good in 1976 -1977 in the Sport J class but was no longer produced. Maybe Danny got the molds or made some from another boat and made changes.
Here are two photos I have. In the first one it's the first boat (blue & white).

Correction, the boat is 17ft, not 16

I never met Alan Stinson til the trophy presentation at the Parker 9, where he and the late Jerry Walin had won and Dewey Berghauer and I had finished second.

The next time I saaw Alan was at Galveston and he was driving an Allison, single engine, with a moveable wing, which I thought was quite cool.

My dad and I talked things over when we got home and decided Alan Stinson built Allison Boats...Al for Alan ansd Ison for Stinson...About ten years laer I found out my theory was wrong......

I'm pretty sure, MN1 is correct that this is a Stinson tunnel. Go to Facebook, and become a friend of Benny Robertson, and ask him. He'd know.

Doesn't boat number 8 say Alan Stinson Driver??? 201 is Benny in Bobby Thompson's SJ boat.
