1963 Miami-Bimini Race Corrected

[bigshrimpin]

Labii has come through again!!

Recently Labii contacted one of the most knowledgeable fiberglass boat historians regarding the v20. This "unnamed" source (will reveal his name in the near future) has just sent me 5 lbs of wellcraft/alim historical docs. I'm going to be scanning for the next week, but I'm truely excited to share this stuff with everyone.

Couple of interesting facts about the steplift hull:

1. The 30ft version of the steplift hull (alim v30) won 1st place in the 1963 Miami-Bimini Race (corrected). The alim V20 with 310hp won 1st in class Miami-Bimini Race Competing against Bertram, Thundbird, etc.

2. In addition to being in production with wellcraft for 27 years the v20 hull was in production with Glasspar since 1964 . . . and with alim before that . . . 33+ years >> Our source believes that the v20 steplift hull had the longest production run of any fiberglass powerboat hull.

I'll be posting stuff everyday this week . . . so stay tuned!!!
