The model:  Dale Van Wyk originally built this boat as one of his many 57 Miss Seattles.  He transformed the boat into the 66 Tri-Cities for his friend Andy Sharples, who raced it many years ago.  Eric found us, got connected with Andy and made the story complete.  He outfitted the boat with new motor and equipment for current competition and has raced it very well right from the beginning.  We look forward to many years of racing with Eric in CT.  He's a good driver and a nice guy to boot.  

The real boat:  You can easily recognize this boat as the former Slo-Mo-Shun V designed by Ted Jones and built for Stan Sayres by Anchor Jensen in 1951.
