Does anyone know who currently owns this boat. I would like to talk to him about his setup to get some ideas for mine. Thanks, Steve

I tried to buy it from GEOO, but he e-mailed me back and said he had sold it to a local friend of his. That's all I know.

Anyway, George is the guy who did all the work. You can read about it on the Arneson website.

We do know who owns it it is getting refurbished and should be ready by spring. They will have to tell you themselves who they are.

Damn. I forgot how sick those video's are in post #46. For those that haven't seen them, heck, even if you have, watch again, they're must see clips.

the boat truely is legendary and it was a big thrill to watch it run, but it gets overlook all the time how safe and stable the boat was at those speeds it was not just lets throw it together as see how it runs Geoo took a steady course from a volvo drive thru an edrive eventually to the arney, the true testement to this boat was his wife could drive it it was very stable , stable enuff to throw a prop blade at over 100 mph and was able to still control the boat !!!! then of course are the legendary stories, the snickers and snears at the AC radar shoot out from the big boys look at this guy in the little 18 paddling out what does he he think he is doing??? well he shut them up and the story of the poker run around the city when the field thinned out to 2 OL's and little mighty mouse hanging with the big boys at over 100 mph that must have been a shot to their egoes like the little nash rambler lol

in one of those videos look at his hands on the wheel it looks like my Dad driving the big olds out on a sunday drive he is well over a 110 truely amazing

A couple of weeks ago someone posted a couple of still shots of Mighty Mouse in flight. Are those pics still here? I did a search with no luck. John
