Great video! Would like to see that little beast at full speed.
What a big job these vets have done, I'm so glad they have completed that mission too.
Thanks Ike.

yes great boats when gas was a dime. allways remember i fell in love with one i saw as a kid in the early sixties behind amsterdam central station, it had a small bonzai tree on the console before the wheel, half that -bit smaller- boat was engine too looking into a low backward running extension behind the closed pilothouse, it also had very distinct steering cables leaving the pilothouse sideways, running to rudder by the side of the decks. often looked it up but never found that type, do i perhaps ring a bell somewhere?
