Robert,

I think the hull that broke 100 was the old "Airbrook" when Steve Stepp and Gene Whipp had it. they sold it to the late Jeff Galenti.
Jeff changed the name to Airbrook. Jeff and I raced it for a season. The transom was redone so many times, that it had a 1 inch alum. plate across the enite back of it. This was what was told to us by Steve Stepp and Gene Whipp. The boat may still be around the Brick NJ area.

Thank you
Jim

Hello,

Last time that I saw it, it was at race up in Ma. this was a couple of yrs after Jeff had it. The new owners were from NJ.
We races it a season in the North East before Jeff got sick.
Think at one time when Steve Stepp and Gene Whipp had it, it also had Arneson Drives on it, when we got from them, it had TRS on it.
Think it had the Arneson's when it broke 100.

Thank you

Jim
