The boat had changed hands many times since I'd sold it and was owned by a club member since 1993 although he never ran the boat. In Dec. 2010 my then 19 yr. old son Hans, salivating, talked me into buying it back. A good friend and body shop owner Darrell Beaulier guided Hans through the restoration after Darris advised me how to brace the bottom before cutting out the rotten wood. Hans' restoration story is told in a 2012 edition he Antique Outboarder. The boat is set up for closed course as i ran it. I built two props like the ones I'd built and run back then. It runs 66.5 mph@6700 RPM with my weight, picks up 200 RPM with Hans. The boat is a pleasure to drive and would be competitive in EP Class today. The motor is a 1975 powerhead from my 1977-85 racing days, the cowl and gearcase are 1979. The first photo is from 1982. Hans learned to drive the May Fly and has driven in SST45 Class since 2012. I run the May Fly regularly.
