Yes. This boat was set up by Danny Snead for a customer. Danny worked for McCulloch back in their racing days (early and mid 60s). The boat is a Stylecraft made by Earl Palmer just for this set up. Unfortunately, it was built after both the boat and its motors were no longer actually competitive.
The motors are a collection of parts from various years and not true to the McCulloch racer. Probably didn't have optimum props either. There were problems with fuel distribution and spray.
Total horsepower: approx 375
When I asked McCulloch's chief of racing, Bob Kies, about it, he had forgotten it had actually been tested in the water. He best remembered it as a great attention getter at boat shows and open houses.
