If anyone knows where to find the old Rhino I would be interested in restoring it, as I'm sure many others would also.


The Magnum?

I remember Mike Clarey (sic?) in a photo, holding on to the bow as his half-sunken boat bobbed in the water by the start/finish line. The Rhino was pretty bad by then, raced as the Rum Runner Bay. I don't know what happened after that. Davey dies of a sudden heart attack last year.

Jerry Girschner [Kristyl Lady] bought the boat from Kenny Black, raced it in the downriver race, then striped it to build the Blue Max cat. Never could figure that one out???
The Blue Max at that time had Ford power & speed II drive's, when that didnt work out they switch to big blocks & Arneson drive's and added the beak's to the hull, to race in open class.
Allway's wondered what happened to the Mirage hull, Thank's

A buddy of mine put those beaks on, he did a couple others for Express also.
