I've been looking at the Olympia Beer Boat. It looks like the gold / Yellow is a pearl ? I've seen a number of different variations on 1/8 scale boats and the color. I would like mine to be as close as possible. Any ideas ?

As far as I know that mustard yellow is not a pearl. I had the paint code for that at one time as I was seriously considering doing that boat. I'll look around in the shop today and see if I still have it.

Struck out on the paint code, thought I had it.

Did the Olympia beer ever run without a horizontal wing?
Yes at one race, wing got damaged and they removed it. Joe posted a pic from that race.
I spoke with Billy when I was the NAMBA Scale director and he said they chose to run it that way for the one race as it was a short course and they thought it would be a benefit -
