=========================

I went over to the Long Beach Convention Center

Boat show and parked there was the P-94 Cracker Box.
I think this boat is outstanding!!!!

Spoke with Chuck ( owner ) who stated it was a 

new build Cracker.  He was very pleasant to talk

with and mentioned the races are coming up in 3 weeks.

There is a link on Youtube with a camera mounted 
on the deck and the boat testing on the water --- fun!!

By 1955, most Crackers were running the small
block chevy engine. Flathead boats were not
usually very common after 1955 as they were not
that competitive against the bigger motor.
