As boat racers changed classes, upgraded
to newer raceboats, and/or were getting out of the sport, many of these
racing hulls "disappeared". Some racing hulls may have been sold to somebody
who was going to race it, but never got around to it. Or resold a few times
over. Maybe put in the back of an old barn? Many of the old hulls were
literally "put out to pasture in the back 40". There is never enough garage
space! As you can imagine, locating any of these raceboats today, can be
a stroke of luck. Restorable race hulls are becoming harder to find with
each passing year. This section of pages on the site will have a photo
(maybe) of the raceboat, along with a few clues of information. With any
luck, hopefully a visitor might just know the answer to your question,
"Where is it now?"

And if you know what might have happened to any of these former racing
hulls, please pass on your information by clicking on the link to the person
inquiring about the raceboat. When we do find out what became of it (alive
or dead), I will add that information. If you are searching for the whereabouts
of a vintage racing hull, please let me know.
I can place your inquiry in this section. Also, don't forget to check out
the Wanted Poster category over at
Phil
Kunz Photography as he posts up a new inquiry every month and has all
his previous "wanted" hulls listed as well. Another source is the Where's
My Old Boat? board
