    We never built a Vampire model. The only Vampire I'm aware of is one Jack Lewis used to build in the mid 60's to early 70's. I believe he was one of the founding members of the Great Lakes Boat Club( our racing club he, my dad and several others started in the 60's.

    ...There was a Vampire/PaceCraft 15, which was basically an Allison bottomed boat, used for racing mostly, made back in the day. If you would like the name of who makes them today, let me know.
