Could it be we are talking about the same boat? The engines pictured do not have cowlings. Ray never used cowlings on his engines. I'm sure Ray probably sold his boat when he got too sick to race.
If so, the new owner may have repainted it. Who owns/owned this boat?
Most people think Ford built the first automobile. Of course that's not true, but it does make interesting conversation.
I received a phone call from Paul Christner about an hour ago. Paul is the son of O.F. Christner owner of Quincy Welding.
Paul confirms Ray's boat was indeed black.
