Switzer Baby Bullet. 11 feet long from 1954. The motor was a 20H if I recal correctly. The lines reminded me a LOT of my Hydrostream.

Check out this killer little Merc race motor. I would kill for this thing. If you look close you can see the bullet on the lower unit.

GLH I thought this would be good for you to put on the back of that Tiger in CT that you were lookin at. Get two of these and put the kids back there, feed them some chocolate and be OFF This was a Aquacycle from I think it was 1930's. Used on a canoe I would guess. You pivot the seat to make the thing turn.

Impshi Class Racer:
(I am taking this from a narative that I photographed)
Few Boats have the enduring beauty of George Crouch's Gentleman's racers from the 1920's. In three years Crouch designed BABY BOOTLEGGER, TEASER, TYPHOON, MISS COLUMBIA, IMPSHI, MUISANCE, SISTER SYN, MISS SYNDICATE, and RAINBOW IV.
IMPSHI and NUISANCE were identical boats built and launched in 1925. Both of these thoroughbred racers went on to race for 15 years. IMPSHI won the GOLD CUP at Lake George driven by Kaye Don, British Harmsworth pilot, famous for setting world land and water speed records and his duels with Gar Wood in the Harmsworth international races.
Both boats raced under different names racing number and color schemes. Some of these names include IMPSHI, DELPHINE VI, ETHYL RUTH III, HORNET, NUISANCE, JAY DEE, and MISS MIAMI BEACH.
IMPSHI is the first boat of a limited group of IMPSHI class boats. All identical, being built as gentlemans racers.
Power for these Gold Cup racing runabouts can be a reliable GM V-8, a V-12 Itallian engine of a WW1 HispanoSuiza marine converted aircraft engine with antique instruments.
This boat was built by Make Mason of New England Boat and Motor, in Laconia.
This picture is of the stern just so ya know
