| HISTORY | |
| Years Raced | After Korean War
This boat hull was build in 1949 by four men in Elgin, IL. The Korean War broke out and the men went off to war. After they returned, only two of the guys were interested in finishing the boat. They fitted her with a highly modified flathead Ford engine and raced the boat. The oral history was give to me by the seller and that is all he could come up with. I would like to know if anyone any further history of this boat. |
