I rememeber Jim's boat being identical to Herbie's--traditional Raveau--with a 'white' 500--Quote:

gene, when i got it from tom, it had no engine. i think i bought boat only. i think it looks like a '63/'64 engine in picture. i first ran it with mk40 as i was running a lot of back yard races where i ran 25 horsepower class. i then bought a merc450, then i bought a merc500 in '65 as i was running more apba races.Quote:

Looks like the Raveau copy Tom built. He didn't round off the bow. Boat was black and wood. Very well built. I saw it at Mt Dora in the early 2000's. He was displaying with Bobby Walwork.Quote:
