Hi again,
Fancy that, oh by the way the boat also was Eastern Divisional Champion first time in the water. The last race was at New Martinsville, VA. broke a valve the day before we tested at Schroeders in Wheatfield the night before the boat ran 117 MPH. We would have had the worlds record then and still, however
That boat was built special for me by Len himself and was blueprinted for a record. It is I see still well kept so glad To see it again. I maybe up this fall to the Buffalo Launch Club regatta. I bought my first boat back a 1931 Chris Craft powere by a 460 Ford, that boat broke around Grand Island in 1963, averaged 73 Mph. Keep in touch
