Well then,

What original group or guy was the financier behind

The "Gara" boat company ?

Also,

What happened to the plug / mold ?

Did it get a mild re-design and take another

Or did it get re-tooled all together and become

multiple boats ?

Very interesting stuff we have here !!! lol

Good news Charlie.
Can you tell us some particulars of the book like composition,pages,pics and price?

For your trivial this is the answer:
Why Not - Gara 40' - Barry Cordingly-Tom Vesco-Paul Haggerty
Here in a shot of the first race as no name boat and without the jaws, in the Bahamas 500 race in 1974.
