| This is a 266 class hull
that is owned by Todd Bohnet
of Wilson Creek, Washington. It is fiberglass and wood construction built
by Conn Craft. Last summer, we started sanding on it and found the original
paint job which was red with the bottom in black. The hull had all the
gold scallops and lines still there. The name was still visible, as was
the number and letter, it was the E-3 Miss Miami! We had David Williams
from the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum look at it to make the verification.
We are just finishing up the process in putting the boat in the form that
it was in when it was in the 1964 movie Racing Fever. In the movie,
the number was changed to F-3. The movie can be found at Movies Unlimited's
web
site. |
