I saw an article where they attached a 1''x 6 to bottom of a v hull, bow to stern, with amazing results. it was an old ad, cant remember who did it, but the birth of the pad hull. someone out there must have also seem it..

Bought an STV and it had a 2x8 attached and it ran pretty well.

I was watching pad bottom Allisons race in 1968 and I am sure Paul Allison had built them years before that. My question is, when did Carniti start building those engines? Looks a lot like an OMC.

went to my first european race while in army in '66 or'67 and carniti's were plentiful. met carniti brothers at a race in '65. they were so impressed with my merc500/critchfield, they showed up at the shop in orlando on monday and showed pictures of their rigs running in europe. they were runnin tunnels back then with their 2 cyl 45hp engines.
