Thanks Dave Dms2@metrocast.net
I saw Doug Bailey race at the 1964 Stock Nationals in Modesto California….. he was fast. If my memory is correct his boat had a unique paint job. White with various color polka dot circles. I can’t remember if Doug won that year but his closest competition was Jim Downing. I think Doug won the 1963 Nationals in Boston.

I don’t think they were using three blades back then. Be sure to post pictures of your finished project.
