No Name on this one!
This is a hydroplane that my friend, Harvey Berquist, took pictures
of in south Minneapolis around the late 1960's.
He used to visit the market in the background. He told me that
he remembers seeing this hydroplane sitting in this
guy's driveway for a couple of years. Harvey liked the raceboat,
and one day, went up to it and took a few photos of
it. Harvey said that he never saw this raceboat at any of the
local races. He never saw the hull with any names or
numbers painted on it. I think it is an unique hull with a pretty
cool set of cowlings. Phil

That boat looks like an old Hallett. I wish I could
see better pictures of the trailer. I had an old Hallet/Drake raceboat
called Southern Planter and this hull looks just like
this. The boat mysteriously disappeared after I sold it.
The hull looks very familiar. Tom D'Eath - June 11, 2001
I was going thru some old negs the other day and I came across this
one
of a 280 Hallet hull called Parisian. The more I looked at it,
it reminded
me of the yellow & black hydro on the Where are they now? page.
I took this photo of it at Madison, WI in 1966.
