[Ron Hill]

Tinker Collinge went and talked to Molly the other day. Molly used to,score all marathons for MERCURY. Molly and Ken owned a boat repair shop in Hemet, called Ken's boat repair.

The original short mid sections for these 125 BP (Stock) were designed and built by Molly's brother...

Ron Jones built the boat in La Mirada, California
