    Yellow with blue numbers and trim: L-113! Well, maybe not. That Marchetti is newer than the ones we raced.

    The cowling and deck look a little bit like a Schultz, although I've never seen one in person.

    Default 12' 6" Hydro Was Big in 1967.

    Harry Bartolomei's 1967 John Ward winning 500 CC Hydro was a Schultz, 13' 6" boat and everyone thought that boat was YUGE. I drove it for Harry and Fred Hauenstein drove a Bell Craft to second place, in Valleyfield, 1967.

    I don't now what this boat is, but it is't a Bell Craft and it isn't s Schultz.

    I remember seeing a cowling like that on a B Stock Hydro back when Jerry Combs lived in California, had a Navy Blue cloth deck, but it wasn't 12' 6" long.

    Blue Water Restoration is in Milford, Iowa, not Emmetsburg... Steve Dyhrkopp is there? Phone: (712)338-2557 and could likely shed some light on the hydro (Marchetti?) in the beginning of this thread. I see the owner, SharkCrazy hasn't been on here since 2009, but maybe Ron Hill could email him??
