Alright the boat was a 26' Redine Cat built by Larry Levich and designed by Bill Robb.
But who drove and throttled it and what was the Name on the boat?

Larry i hear is floating around algonac again, I have the 26' Redline the first one that Billy raced its in the restoration process right now, I would like to find out what the name was on the boat back then. I remember Larry borrowing the mold the bottom is alot different than the express 25' but it has the same bodyline in the side. I raced in the crime pays boat with bobby in 2006, It is still a good working old hull.

I worked for Ross for 6 years and ran his shop for 5, Push it 25' that is the boat that Tim White bought. The first bottom definatly was a heavy rocker bottom boat . I know Larry and Bill used the first design 25' as there plug but they did some major changes to the bottom at the keel and steps and stakes the only simularities is the bodyline in the freeboard sides.
I liked the first design 25' more that the second design the first all it needed was a tunnel tab the second ran way to flate for my liking.
I also have Mike and Karen Crosses old Skater for sale with the oringinal motors freshened up for sale for 23k if you know anybody.
