Long time ago in the factory in Rhode Island where it all began

[Top Banana]

Cleaning out some files and happened upon some of the original factory photos from Rhode Island. Amazing how many of these boats are still around.

The blue boat with the 280 TRS, was my wife's boat....Fast Lady. Original placement of exhausts was at the water line, but later moved them above the sterndrive. That boat later became the plug for the newest set of molds we made a few years ago. It is sitting now waiting for a restoration.....can't decide to go with a bracket and outboard or another sterndrive setup.

The long red hull became Second Choice. I understand that someone who is the Great Grandson of the original owner just purchased the boat and is restoring it.

The white boat was being rigged for delivery to San Francisco, California. It was delivered by a frined of mine who just bought a new Jeep and wanted to go no a road trip with it.

Last photo shows a day at the factory with some finished boats and some boats under construction. Second Choice back for some changes to make it more raceable, the black boat way in the back is being rigged as a twin 200HP outboard pleasure boat, the black hull to left of Second Choice, is being rigged with a 454 sterndrive
