hi all,

i found the trailer that was owned by ted lewis whose marchetti i am restoriing. that will be cool to have the boat and the trailer reunited considering the boat was found in shrevsport, la and the trailer was founf in trappe, md(2 hours from my house.

along with the trailer was a c looper, c51. paul if you acn look thios up the the big book and see whose it was that would be great. the engine has issues though. the pictures in this posting shows not just a hole, but a GASH where the rod decided to exit. i have been told that more looper blew on dry land than in a race. this is a case in point. they were tuning it with a test wheel and didn't have enough load on it. oooops.
