i found this site that has some old pics of that boat i mentioned
the drives and power went into a foutain up here called distubing behavior. That was at least 3 years ago. The boat was still there the last time i was at raymonds, but that was in 04. Idont think tose guys were trying to sell it, i havent seen it advertised. Anybody know what happened to it?
Also, is it even possible to save the wooden ones?

Didn't I see a video of Fayva Shoes crash and disintegrate?

I have that video. There wasn't anything to put back together. Just a pile of sticks left. It's a wonder the crew lived

Found the old Mona Lou....it is still in service in a northern state, being used as a rescue boat by a local sheriff's dep't.

It was a Maritime and made of aluminum, so it can handle skim ice in the fall and spring.

A member on Speedwake is restoring it, I think it is "Needle Nose", a 38 Bertram.

After racing as Needle Nose, it raced as "Really Rediculous" a couple of times.
