Rhonda Lee
Marco - I talked with John Bakos yesterday and he sent this photo of Rhonda Lee to me. This is the 3 engine boat that you have discussed. John did run the boat, but he told me that Odell also ran the boat at least once. I know this may add some confusion to the equation, but I am guessing that you have not previously seen this photo. Hopefully John will come on-line and add some information. Best Regards - Steve Sirois

Thanks Seeroy, expecting some news for some time.
John Bakos had responded to my e-mail telling me that Odell had driven his Ronda Lee II after he had left the team Kiekhaefer before the Miami-Nassau in October 1967. And that Odell ran the last race of the season, the Miami-Nassau. Odell probably ran a race with Ronda Lee II, but probably was not the Miami-Nassau that was not the last race of the season.
The data I have give Odell at the wheel of Mona Lou III (Searace and others) for that race.
It 'possible that this was the Hurricane Classic that it was really the last race of 1967.
Another point to clarify in the murky waters of Lake Bertram ....
Hoping that meetings at the Miami Boat Show, do discuss of that.
BTW very good pic of the Ronda Lee II. The location seem to be in the Bahamas (Lucaya?).Bahamas 500 or Miami-Nassau?

Brownie,Sorry for the delay in response but these days I was drinking ... :cheers2:
You are partially correct; "Master Moppie" was Peter Rittmaster but it was also the "American Moppie".
Dick Bertram after he had the "Brave Moppie" in 1966 have had "My Moppie" who was also his last boat to compete.

There are no HIN numbers I'm assuming? I sent a couple emails out to see if it can be figured out.
Take as many pictures as possible that you can of special rigging holes, bilge, interior, etc. On jetcruzr's 41 Apache we were able to find a picture with Eicke Batista in the bilge that positively identified the boat with the rigging holes and special pieces because of the Lambo's it was originally rigged with. As we locate pictures of the 31 race boats we will want to compare them with pictures of your boat.
Congrats by the way. Sweet project to take on!!
