I still think they are two different hulls, too many other differences when looking them over in different pics. I would think it is possible they are the same, maybe a make over and a few changes to one boat at some point but hard to say.

Don't tell any body but I had two different boats with the same NC state numbers / stickers on them. NC changed the cost and year span registrations a few years ago and they sent me a state sticker and then a month latter I got another. Both had the same regs numbers printed on it. I used the second sticker on a little project boat just for a few test trips before reworking it. Ended up getting the correct tittle for it a year latter and then changed the numbers.

Just think it is possible he used the same reg numbers on both boats and had only one registration he used on both. Just my thoughts but I have been wrong before.
The twin boat looks much shorter than the trip boat and the shears are different.
Mark Hauptner of Ocean Master was co-driver with Carl in the `67 race from Haulover to Key West.


He told me they ran trip Merc 110`s for the first time with the new 25 and they set a new OB record of 62 overall.
This after losing an engine around Summerland. He said all 3 props fell off when they pulled her.
Mark also said the blades were thrashed. Possibly from the washing machine in Haulover going out.

Mark said many boats failed in the cut going out and it was a mess.

I always wore #11 in sports when I could and I suspect the racers were no different.

Racing puffers as a squid, we always used sail numbers.

Cheers,
GFS

Ha! There was something special about that time period and boat advertising.
