Any racing footage of the 233?

According to Formula, this picture was snapped in February, 1965.

Does there exist any known footage of 233 race boats from the 60's?

It would be neat to see how they performed in full race configuration.

How about more still shots if no vids are found? My buddy has a '71 233 that is his everyday boat, prolly the best riding 23 footer ever.

Pleasant surprise to find some footage of none other than old number 16 making the Bimini run.

It starts at 3:08 in this video.

Even after 50 years, the 233 is still a tough act to follow. The 3:1 hull ratio, wide flaring bow, and rounded keel all gel so perfectly. Such a marvelous design.
