Is the boat under the twister a Hustler[Jim Umbarger] boat ? It has that look.

Yes, it is a Hustler. It's one of the Nardi brothers. The red boat is a Vampire.

Yes, that's correct. My dad ran a sister to Nardi's except with wood running pad's.
Harold Nauss put the pads on when the boat belonged to Duane Timm.

Based on the condition of that hull, Mike probably can't either......:D
