Default Looking for old race boats

Tried this before, but maybe some old ones have been unearthed recently.

Here are some shots from the Catalina ski race, maybe som e West coast guys have a lead on something.

The 35 Cig. in the above photos is one of Tom Gentry's old Race boats. The boat is now owned by Dunsmore Custom Marine in NV. I know the boat is complete and in original race trim with gentry turbo motors on #3 drives. I believe the boat is still for sale.

Charlie,

The last time I spoke with them they wanted 55K or 60K. I will try and find some photos they sent me. How is the restoration coming on the Spirit/Bennihanna?

Thanks I'll pass that on.

Benihana......Hopefully painted by the end of January. The engines are at Innovation Marine. I asked them to build some detuned engines that still have the old look, but can run...first for more than a few hours at a time (like the old days) and second, on regular pump gas.

With the improvements in engines over the last 30 years, the HP probably won't be down that much, but the reliability will be way up.
