The 62 was the white a dn crimson livery. I went to the Hydroplane Museum in Kent, WA about a year ago to see if they had pictues and they didin't have much. But you might check with them. They can probably send you opies of what they have. Just a thought.

http://www.lesliefie...fault_frame.htm has some and it's very possible David Newton may have some as well. The only shot I found of the "Too" is this one from 1958 where it's the fourth boat back, behind the Thriftway http://newtonmarine....764755955_ZTFcr

Tim,

Do you have a source for a decent cowl? That has been my roadblock on getting this hull off the ground.

Thanks

Kevin, If it was gas scale, Fred Olsen will be doing one. Can't remember what size you have?

Hey Kevin

l bought the hull from Steve Ball about four years ago as a resto project, maybe he would have an idea of who to contact for a cowl.

Well I have both actually. I was thinking for 1/8 scale. However it would make a cool gas scale. I think I'll cut one today when I cut dad's kits.
