Someone was selling this beautiful pre-war dash cluster online ($2500). If $ was no object, this would be sitting on my parts shelf.

MISS MERION BLUEGRASS – trailer build
Here’s a (to me, inspiring) slideshow video on the hydro trailer build. A lot of neat ideas and cool details went into this trailer build. I wish I would have saw this before I built mine (many years ago), as I would have ‘borrowed’ a few of these ideas they built into their trailer.
HULL BUILD – And if you never seen the video slideshow of the rebuild of the MMB hull, click here. The original was burned in a back yard by an owner in Olympia, Washington. David Kancianich, who owned the ANNIES DODGE II, was asked if he would bring his boat to Don Kelson’s shop to measure it as it was basically the same as the original MISS MERION BLUEGRASS. However, the new one is two feet longer than the original one.
HULL RIGGING & PAINT – If you have watched the above 2 videos, then you surely would like to see this famous hydro being finished up.
WEBSITE – Illustrious history of the MMB is on their website.

…this pic was posted on our facebook page. How cool is that wall painting for this exhibition on the race boats.
