Looks dangerously fast. An aluminum boat that size doesn't weigh anything compared to a wooden boat the same size

BTW, we'll be making molds for the front / back 2nd generation cowls if all works out well next week. Obviously there were several other Seebolds painted similar in '78 (reggi + Benz and Oley +?) Thanks for your help Y'all....have a great 4th

The only other Seebold with that paint scheme same as Mark & Bill Seebold's boat that I know of is this one that Cees drove in St Louis 1978.
That doesn't mean there may not be others, but if you have this one wow would it ever be amazing to return it to what it looked like in August 1978 !!!

Appears to be LH to me as well.

LH was the standard on the non thru prop exhaust DR's, RH was special order counterrotation

The unofficial NDA - non disclosure agreement.

This seems to be Mr. K way of instilling the importance of trade secrets, to all his employees.
And extending that policy with plant visitors, without getting NDA signatures, whilst he is not in the building to supervise the visitations.

When I worked at a helicopter company, only certain of us employees, were allowed to go into the blueprint archive room, to look at or retrieve any of the spec drawings.
