This cowl design was around for quite a few years but the bottom pan was awful. Flexed too much and had a tendency to crack.

This is the boat that was destroyed at the Marine Stadium with Johnny Reed driving. When I arrived at the accident in my SE boat the only thing I could recognize was a driver face down in the water. I went in the water and rolled him over and found it was Johnny. Johnny told me recently that Stu had sold this boat just before the accident.
