As Alan mentioned in his mark 40H thread w'e recently dug out of our storage facility a nice example of a Sid Craft hydroplane. According to John Scubert it could have been a DSH or a C Mod boat. It is a short sponson 11' 2" boat. There were no decks on the boat when we purchased it a few years ago and it looks like it was being taken aprart to be used as a pattern boat. Also a previous owner started to make it into a pickle fork boat but thankfully stopped short of the first rib. Looks like the original colors were natural varnish and dark red. We will be restoring the fine boat over the next few month with progress pictures along the way.
Here are a few of pictures as we secured the boat to our working deck.
