Well, I brought the "Blackberry" boat and trailer home that was talked about on the Discussion Board, to my place. I've seen worse for restoration..
The cockpit has a cutout for an escape door and a crudely made door (nice latch though) and the engine compartment bottom has been cut out (I could plant a tree in it for yard art).
Boat was former Chief Statiacum of Keith Richards and possibly built for John VanDyke.
This boat is available. Contact Randy (email address is below).

I've included two photos of similar hydroplanes of the past to compare it with. 
Of course, there has been some modifications like the re-inforced cockpit.....and tail angle.....and size......and possibly sponson changes.
