Split "V" PowerBoat
Im wondering if anyone has seen
or heard of Jack Shields from
Charlevoix Mich.
He has a paten on a Boat Hull
Called a Split "V" PowerBoat
and he was close to 75 years old when I made him his first
prototype hull and did a sea
trial The Long Beach CA. area
about 4 years ago now.
Jack was like a young kid when
he finally got a chance to drive his long time dream.
There was a boat built that was
VERY close to jacks design called a "Harley" I beleive.
The Boat had a V Bottom front
Bow area and then blended into
a twin cat type bottom.
The one I did was 23ft and had
a 250 Merc OutBoard on it.
Hope someone knows about Jack
or his Boat.
