....even if it's not what you thought at first, it could keep you away from a dead end. Nice looking boat, & good job of refinishing. Looks like a little too much fin though unless it's a long straight with tight turns.
Turned out I gave some bad information myself. I had thought I did a kilo record and a competition record with 41994 in the same year. That was my goal, but it didn't happen. The competition record I set in 1976 was also with a Marshall Grant motor, but it was the double rotary valve "F". I have to spend a little time getting all of this straight because I lost some notes and my files are all scattered.
Marshall didn't keep notes on serial numbers and I don't think many people do. I did through part of my racing career and quit toward the end, but I would never remember a number in the wee hours of the morning from any other motor we had unless it was the "Donald Duck" motor. The fact that the number was so unusual and that we spent more than six weeks trying to figure out how to correct this perplexing high speed miss must have ingrained that number in my brain from writing up so many test sheets.
