The Wild One

This hydroplane is being restored by Frank Hawley. Two years ago I was given a 1968 hydroplane by Ruth McCampbell. It was in the barn when they sold their estate after the death of Henry Shannon McCampbell her husband and a very good friend of mine. Soon afterwards their house was burned down as well as all photos of the boat. I am in the process of restoring it and would appreciate any photos out there that anyone could share with me. It has a six cylinder Ford comet motor in it, so what class would it be in so I could narrow my researches?  I hope someone out there who recognizes and could tell me a little more about it. It was run on the Ohio River, when Henry McCampbell lived in Dayton Ohio. Thanks for any help.
