[Darin Jordan]

Can someone please tell me what the hull "brand" is for the MHR #6708? Who built it or designed it?

Thanks

Thanks... Am I ready the master roster correctly in that this same hull should be able to make the Miss Vans PX 70-71, 75-77, and the 78-79 cabover??

I guess what I'm trying to understand is are ALL of those boats listed under 6708 done on the same hull, and were just the evolution of the Parco's O-Ring Miss, or were these separate hulls, done by the same builder??

If the boat is listed under the 6708 hull number, it was all the same hull with a different sponsor. All of these are just different sponsors:

67-68 U-8 PARCO O-RING MISS

69 U-8 PARCO O-RING MISS (RED,WHITE,BLUE)

70 U-80 SUPER CINDERS II

70-71 U-80 MISS VAN'S P-X (RED,BLUE,WHITE)

74-75 U-80 SUPER CINDERS II (YELLOW)

75-77 U-80 MISS VAN'S P-X (YELLOW)

78-79 U-80 MISS VAN'S P-X (CABOVER)

80,82 U-80 DON CAMPBELL'S FOOD SERVICE

80 U-80 U-80

82 U-80 BOB PATTERSON SPECIAL

83 U-80 CHET'S MUSIC SHOP

83 U-80 MISS CRAB LEGS

Awesome info. Thank you. I think I'm starting to get the hang of looking this stuff up.

Picking up an 1967 Parco's O-Ring Miss 1/10th Scale FE boat today that needs a little repair. Depending on how extensive the repairs are, I was thinking of changing the livery. However, the original builder sent me the graphics for it, and I found a bunch of history (thanks to some tips found here), so I may just leave it as it is. It's a beautiful boat and runs well. Just not really found of driving dark blue boats in races on deep blue water!
