Default Hiliner 222 - 1968 "Miami - Key West" and "Hurricane 200"

I am wondering if anyone can help with race results from the 1968 Miami - Keywest or 1968 Hurricane 200 (st. Pete).

I'm trying to find any information or history on this boat.

I'll Bite... No mention in the race description. Don Pruett won in his 31 Bertram "Yellow Tornado" averaging 54.6 mph. Only 16 of 33 starters finished the Nov 1 1968 race. 2nd and 3rd boats were 31' Formulas. Aronow was 5th in his 28' Maltese Magnum single. The boat pictured looks like a smaller Formula to me, but that's a guess.

Sorry, just re-read the description. 2nd and 3rd boats were Bertrams, driven by Bertram presidents, 4th was Dick Genth in a 31' Formula.

Thanks for the info . . . The "21" / 222 hiliner is a c raymond hunt design supposedly designed for Bertram. It's a refined version of the 20 Bertram. The marketing material says Ray hunt spent 1.5 years on the design. I've been trying some more information on the hull.
