Who can help identify the boat builder(s), year built for the 125 hydros driven/owned by Rajesh Ganpat ... G9, and Dan Marcquenski ... V24.
These are pictured on page 27 of the September Propeller magazine. Anyone know if either of these gentlemen are members of this forum?Untethered from reality!

Dr. Thunder,
My Giles boat is a very stable very controllable boat. This is my first year back to Pro racing after a 25 year layoff. Unfortunately for me, I've only had one race in the boat. Due to a herniated disc in my neck, I had to turn the boat over to my 17 year old. He had never driven a hydro before, but I felt the boat was safe enough for him to jump in. We're still learning how to keep the 125 motor together for more than a heat or 2. Mostly brackets cracking due to vibration. For a budget team, I feel that we are very close to a good competative rig. Our boat has no bad characteristics. It flies really nice in calm water, and also handles the rough stuff well. Tim Brinkman's 125 World championship boat was almost a direct copy of this one with kevlar re-enforced sides.
Bill built a very nice boat that we were lucky enough to end up with.
