Re: Other Speed Record Breakers Are Available!
Here's a rare one... A colour pic of Les Staudacher's 1961 Miss Stars and Stripes. This boat had the potential to break K7's 59 record of 260 mph, but crashed when her rudder assembly worked loose at > 250 mph. Staudacher bailed out but was seriously injured. The hull was all metal along the lines of K7

Re: Other Speed Record Breakers Are Available!
Regarding the photos of SOA without bodywork, I have video of her breaking the Australian speed record at 166mph in the form I posted earlier.
Co-incidentally I found on the same video a shot directly into the cockpit of BB in 66/67 CLEARLY showing the dashboard..Bill if you want a copy please get in touch and we can bargain[ you can have it anyway for your info but you might have a swap or something?]

Another pic of Miss Stars and Stripes 2
Note the worlds fastest prop boat for approx 38 years - the Rolls Royce Merlin powered Miss US1 in the background and below driven by Roy Duby at Guntersville Alabama at 200.4mph and still the worlds fastest piston engined boat today.

new wwsr challenger?
Noseying about on the web I found this:
waterspeedrecord
I have a hull that can be on the water in a few months. We have a proven outrigger design with current ihba and sdba et records as well as the fastest propeller driven pass @ 270.2mph. Set up with a gas turbine and twin prop gearbox this hull will run for both records,(propeller and outright). Currently seaking sponsor $. we do not need to design engineer and test as we have a proven safety record with 4+ years on the track passes @ 250+mph. I have current sponsors for most components but need funding for the record. I am a 1 man garage operation that has an actual hull that can be seen at www.ellisonraceconcepts.com Thanks, Dan
I didn't reply on the site and I couldn't access the photos. Site looks impressive.
I don't know if anyone has told Dan that the record is done over a kilo or mile, yet and that is a totally different prospect to driving a 1/4 mile flat out.
My info was that Craig Breedlove's boat was designed on the 'sprint' boat technology and we know what unfortunately happened there.
