It was built at the factory, formerly the 'Hells Banana' M666 raceboat. It handled amazingly well, like it was a MUCH bigger boat. Very heavy for its size, flew level and always landed straight. As for speeds, way before gps but it would spin 27 Hill 3 blades to 6200.

Not sure, I bought it from an insurance salvage company. It got scorched pretty bad when it was at Port Edgewood back in the 80's

The entire aft deck was removable to gain engine access.
