Time to sart collecting photo's for a new boat I'm going to build. I've always liked the Frank Kenny boats. The 84-85 hull is different. Only one canard ? It only ran 3 races in 2 seasons, before it was destroyed. The hull was Never repaired. That's about all I know ? Thanks dave

I didn't find anything on it, other than it's in the same plan set as the Renault on the Newton Marine site and that it was driven Borgeson.

Is that the Risleys Express Eagle Snacks boat?

Not according to the MHR Mike. It was a two year hull that wasn't successful. If I remember right, that boat was an "also ran" type of boat. It wasn't up to running with the Atlas, Budweiser, Executone or even the decade old Madison. I may have seen that boat in the early 1990s at Arlington Washington's airport, parked under some trees and covered with a tarp. What I was told, at the time, was the boat I saw was owned by Wil Muncey and that he was going to try and drop a big radial engine into it. Never saw it again so I don't know what happened to it after that

I like the cowl over the exposed motor look
