This boat is coming up for auction soon. Note from the Auction house states: “It was designed by San Diegan Steve Ball and set a world record of 101.47 mph at the Modesto Reservoir in 1975”.
Folks on Facebook are saying it was a fast hydro. It was seen as far east as Morgan City. Butch Kropfeld remembers running against it when he won the 1977 Nationals at Castaic Lake in California.
Another observation was – fast in the straights, but you didn’t want to be next to the whipping tail in the turns. (I can see that)
…….Definitely unique!
Hello, were is this boat now?
Thanks, Arne.
