Hoping someone has a decent picture of the 8255 1986 U-100 BOAT

I have a few on the water side shots of the boat without "BOAT" on the sponson's

I would also like to verify that the U-100 is on the aft deck in silver as on the "Coors Light"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The real boat: This was one of Fred Leland's boats in the 80's. It raced only one race like this in Tri Cities and ran the next week with sponsorship from AA Auto Supply. It served as Mike Hanson's first unlimited ride.

Good Memory Ray.

Gary DID run a 1/8th scale as "The Boat" for many years, and would be a great resource of knowledge.

He has since turned that same hull into the Miss Houston...and it may have even changed since last I saw it.

Memory is going as I don't remember if it was the "red" or "blue" version.

"The Boat" has a complicated history, well documented above, and will always bring attention and discussion (nicest way to say it) when showing up at a sanctioned R/C boating event.
 
I have the decals for that boat. I think I did them for preuse. It was a long time ago. The u no. And lettering is in duct tape believe it or not. I had to take a pic of duct tape and scale it down.
Thanks Wes,

Trying to get something done pretty quick,,, I have drug my feet on getting the Coors done and a race is upon us down here and I'm taking the easy way out
