40 Tunnel Molds for sale on eBay!!!! Looks like the older Aerotech, or are they cheap "splash" molds

[RonShaw]

I saw these 40 Tunnel molds on eBay. They look like the old Aerotech except for the cowl. I was thinking about buying but if they are "splash" molds, I would not be interested. Looks like someone in Fla owns them but states they came from California. Bidding ends in 11 hours so I could use your feedback. Thanks.

It looks a lot like a Leecraft XT-460 mold. If so, it would be a copy since I know where all the ones I had are.

In the attached photo, Craig is on the right with glasses and the white shirt. I remember him very clearly at a Charleston race about 4 years ago. I had several talks with him over the weekend.

yeah, he even made the cover of a nine hour/goldcoast marathon program cover blowing that thing over at the miami marine stadium. actually, the pic used is the second time he stood it up. he started over the first time, the pipes & cowls hit/dragged on the water & pulled it back down. he wouldn't wait for it to settle, gassed it & went right back up & over <_< . right in front of the stands, helluva show. he walked/swam away unhurt. for those of you that don't know, a magnum missle (made by don aronow's magnum marine) is a very early full scale ob tunnel, similar in design to an early square nose dumas hot shot. that fool tried to put over 300 piped ob hp on the transom of a 16' full nose tunnel :blink: ..................
