Would it be possible for anyone who remembers or has pictures of the
Tahoe Miss that had a Buick or Olds V-6 engine driving the aux stage
blower please forward any information on this unique application to me. I saw the boat in Detroit in the late sixtys.
I believe the name of the Crew Chief was Harry Volpe. Additional information would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Bill Grunow,
About four weeks ago I was able (with a few friends) to locate the first of a series of inboard hydroplanes built in Sweden. It was built in 1963/64 and based on a design by Ron Jones Sr. It was powered by a Volvo 4-cylinder engine souped up to about 135 hp. It was raced in the 1800cc class and was able to reach speeds around 70 knots. This boat was found in a barn where it has been sitting since 1967. Rear cowling, engine cowling and the engine is missing but otherwise it is in not too bad condition. My plan is to restore the boat and race it once again.
