I believe there was the first open cockpit boat, then second canopy boat, then 3rd canopy boat. the 1st and 2nd boats may have been one though.

yeah the first two were the same, they just added the canopy. Then they had the bat boat which was also named Gentry. I do remember a red systems boat i will look for the picture that was a cougar and had a single center canopy. where the driver and throttleman sat behind one another. i will look for it tonight.

The red one was Tekne Lambo, Ragazzi bought it and Kaiser/Curtis ran it in KW one year. It is actually right near me here in Florida. It has sat in a building for 10 years collecting dust.
