As I sit here fifty years later, I smile for many reasons.

Homelite 4 strokes? Yep. Bearcats? Yep. 110 hp on a race boat? Yep.

A 2012 VW Bug has more hp. Go Herbie!

This is not a purpose built race design. These were all stock production boats. Not chopped and altered hybrids. You have to see the boat in person. HUGE for a 21. As I stood on the keelson, I could only see stars. No trees. No radio towers. Just stars. You could put a 20 and an 18 in her and smuggle them into any port of call unseen by prying eyes.

Now people ask if they can put a 100hp 4s on a 20.
This really speaks to the efficiency of the VDH design.

Everyone should visit Carla`s site.
