1966 Miss Bardahl
 

My involvment started in the late 1950's racing 5 hp J class runabout up through an occasional race in my dad's D Stock hydro.
My dad and Ron Musson started racing together in the late 1950's. A 10-hp Mercury hurricane and a Sid Craft boat were their lake racers. In the early 1960's, they both co-owned for a short period of time, Chromium and Chromate (a 135 and 266), one or both of which were US-1's. As the story goes, I think I recall that one of those boats may have been a Wa Wa. I would sure love to know. Also, I would love to know if the Wa Wa I have in my posession is indeed a scale Wa Wa or was it a forerunner to my Dad's inboards.
I have tried to make contact about the hull, but to no avail.


This is a scratch built scale Lauterbach that should be in a museum somewhere, if not the lobby of the Lauterbach factory.
