    But it can't be a Cigarette?

    Are you really looking for a certain Bertram Moppie? Or is any Moppie your first choice. Because if this is all the info you give, we'll bury you with options.....

    How Big of boat do you want??? Theres been some former "A" Class race boats popping up here and there, If you and one or two other people want to go speeding around, jumping waves, just having a friggin Ball for Minimal Jack they'd be hard to beat, especially for the FUN Factor. How big do you Want...

    How 'bout Nordskog's Holocaust? I think it's out your way and it's a cool, unique boat?

    To start a real good search, I need to know everything about it you know. Drives, engines, length, beam, anything different than any other, year, etc....

    You did a great job on the Magnum.

    I believe so. I've seen a couple of shots that Charlie McCarthy's put up. Top Banana ( ) knows where to find it. Great piece of history!

    I was trying to track down the old WD40 Bert for a while. I'd heard she was in a field in Long Island or NJ with her transom cut out. Never made ANY headway though on getting any more info. I love those big Bertram Comps. Great lines and style.

    Dude, can you PM or email Black Tornado and see if he recognizes it?

    I'll PM Charlie. Back when Doc raced, after his retirement, didn't the one he ran look almost identical?

    Magoon?

    I'll try to see if I can dig up Marco's email. I can't PM on OSO anymore because I'd have to delete something like 100 PMs before I got under the limit... I'll also hit people up on boatmad.com
