Looking for 1988 Miller High LIfe U-31 Pics

[Ray Barnes]

If anyone can put me in the direction to find some pictures of this boat, I would greatly appreciate it. I have seen some of built models, but can't seem to see any of the real thing.

here's a couple.

Thanks Doug, Believe it or not that second picture was the one I seen and decided to build that boat. Did you have pictures of the big boat. Is that a glass hull? Thanks again for the pictures. I hope mine comes out as nice as yours.

I have a couple more in a binder. One running and another on the trailer. I think I have one more from the transom as well. Be careful of the vent on the back of the cowl it is not as appeared in the one model that was posted. It is not the same as the Circus. It was smaller and had a separation vane that ran through the middle of it. The one shot was taken in San Diego where it had weird cover over the back vent and last half of the cowl. The U-00 Circus Circus had it too but they only used it in testing and qualifying. It only ran two races, in SD and Las Vegas. SD it didn't run well but it ran great in Vegas.

Thanks all. Mike, Those are the pictures I'm looking for. If you have any of the rear cowl with the split that you described, it would be great. I'm trying to duplicate it as close as possible.Thanks again great reference material.

I don't think I have one of the Miller rear vent but I do have one of the U-00 Circus Circus. Both the Miller and the Circus had identical cowls and rear vent after the did the switch and refit after Seattle of 88. I'll post that one as soon as I can find it. I'll scan the other Miller canopy boat pics I have an post those as well.
