Klassic Kirts !!
Man that Schu would fly !! A buddy of mine has that boat now up here in Canada.
Dan hangin' her high in 350ccH
Jeff/David;
Just saw this post. First pic I saw of the boat in its original blue.
As I found it in FL, it is now black, and I do not have the canopy.
If anyone has more pics of it in blue, I would like to see them,
as it should be redone as Kirts ran it.
I too have one that was used to run a Yamato 500 Alky, from Carl Laverenz from Moline, Ill, USA. He went on to Pugh hydros. Now its for developmental use. Very stable and very predictable. I heard that Schumaker was a disciple of Tim Butt's boat building fame? Interesting similarities. The next engine to be run on this one will be a rebuilt Quincy Flathead D presently in the works. Nice boat there. My compliments.
Brian, I wish it had bought that Eldredge lower unit while it was here in MD .... that was about 3 months before I broke my propshaft
Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
