Nothing new again under the sun perhaps for you and few other experts of facts of nautical, but he keeps on saying and to write whether to create it for first it was Wynne, while he was the first one to deposit the brevet.
Wynne has been a great but the history it must be written with the truth.
Speaking of Outboard Marine I already knew the facts but thin to now no photos show as they were these transmissions.
I hope to see soon something from over Atlantic.

It was a Cigarette 36' built in the end of 1971.
I think it was the hull number around #10.

I have sent you a e-mail to your address but I don't know if you have received it.
However tommymonza has described the correct road to reach the Primatist yards.
I am interested to see how the works proceed on the Aeromarine IX.

MF it is located at the Abbate yard in Italy on the road between Lugano and Como just over the Swiss border coming from Lugano
It would be shame for it to be scrapped.I can't imagine Abbate wanting anything for it other than someone to haul it away.
If anything it would be cool to see restored just for viewing not for running.
Marco I can't wait to here the story about the outdrive.If you would like you can PM me the story in Italiano and I will have my girlfriend translate and i will send it back to you transcribed.Her english is excellent.

Thanks about your offer to translation. I am still completing the research and I will eventually send you an e-mail when it will be completed.

Can't believe I haven't seen this thread before today! What a fantastic find. Can't bear to think of it being tossed aside like that. Would sure look great restored (like the Cinzano boat that I'm about to post pics of!)
