the owner brought it to one of the races down in Cinnci back in about 02. Got to check it out up close and chatted with the the guy at great length. Its pretty cool and very nice but i got the impression it has only been out a few times and never run at its designed limit. I was told this is the only surviving one (if that tells ya anything) As said in the ad it's won several trophies. I'm fairly certain it wins "best flying boat" anywhere it goes
