Great video, nice to see that old boats don't always get flamed.

Does anybody know how to get in contact with Bill in the video who does the restorations?

Speedliner

I like the ole Speedliner also..........in the video you said it weighed 65 pounds?? Did they use carbon fiber back then??

My stepdad Bill Kneeland started racing in the late 1940's and had a variety of those good ole hulls.....he was a fan of the Lake Winnapeasukee Marathon in New Hampshire.

See ya

Swift Big &quot;B&quot; Hydro

Hi Bill: The boat shown in your video without front decking I believe is a Swift Big "B" which was in fact used for the 20H, Hot Rod and merc 30 class C. The Big "B" was the first new boat that I owned which was purchased in 1957 from Joe Swift who was located in FL at that time. The "V" cut out shown at the rear of the bottom was eventually filled in as it was thought by Joe Swift to improve performance. I remember my Father getting a drawing from the Swift folks setting forth the proper suggested repair. Great boat but when I eventually went to ASH I switched to a Swift Atomic "A". Another great one.

Sincerely,
Don Graham III
