Marchetti Race Boats

[BRIAN HENDRICK]

This is a 10'8" Marchettii (10-10"?] I owned for some time and is now back
in NJ near near where it was concieved .
Never raced, 'boys toy', not mine !
No sign of Merc clamps, but sign of KR or SR ?
Cloth deck, so early '60s, 'spaghetti boat ' and few survive.
Maybe a good B popper boat ?

I never did like the later 'scallop deck' C/D hydros,
ie; the transition to pickle forks, although some had sucess with them;

-also a pic of Chuck Simon in this type boat with a converted deflector B Konig
I still have this motor, but never saw this pic before I let go the boat

PS; -thanx to Karl W for the CS pic , and other info.
PPS. -that is a SR-39 hex head on the Marchetti, but with copper 4 stud
'Thermo Flow ' aftermarket heads. c1935?
