    Gary once told me he had flipped a MOLINARI but I must confess, I didn't really believe him, maybe that's because I never saw him even sit in a race boat.
    Must confess, it was only speculation on my part that it might have been Miss Titty GG was testing.

    I never Realized just how much effort went on and how many rigs were tested , and how many of the personel I actually knew from the lake, Mark reckons there are a bunch of records missing, but we still have fourteen of them. They are in safe hands Gene, GARY and Mark will be great custodians.
    Some years ago I saw one of the original open cockpit Molinari's in Tom Wenstadt's garage in Oshkosh. He was a Merc engineer before joining a boat company. He said that it was one of the first two that came to Wisconsin and GG had flipped the other one..... These were single engine hulls and very early designs. I don't know how Tom wound up with the hull, but he had it in the mid 80's.
