in 1975 we bought both those molds form arrnow, i was just a child and mom dad and i went down to miami with the old 202 truck with the frames to hold the boat off of it and put those molds on the back and drove home back to rabco, there wasn't a v bottom mold but two tunnel molds and 2 deck molds. one of the tunnel molds was faster and had a flatter running surface, had more lift , we only built 4 of them 2 of them killed people.......1 boat killed 2 people , it was called .ITS NOT EASY BEING GREEN. had kermit the frog on the front , the other one was yellow and killed a guy at the florida barge canal. both boats i heard were cut up with a chain saw? , probrally true since i never saw them again.....
