Yes, it was a Florida Cam Morley boat. Original colours were green and yellow.

Cam raced one
Dave Whittington raced one
A young fellow in Leaside [ Will Alsop?] raced the one Mike has now.

Cam and his dad got 4 or 5 boats for the class.
Rusty's yellow boat was one. Marty Brodeur used that boat to made the molds for his boats. Those molds are the same molds used to-day. Cam Whiteside got the boat next. Cam sold that boat to James Allen and Rusty got it from James.

Cam sold that boat to James so he could rebuild Jim Whittington's 911 LEE boat that flipped at Dunnville in 1996. The Lee was originally purchased by Top Gun in 1991, sold to Dwayne Zambit, sold to a non racer who sold it to Jim Whittington.
The current Yamaha powered 911 boat is a Marty Brodeur boat which Jim has had since 1997.

Yes a LEE boat was made from the original Critchfield molds. The Critchfield molds were purchased by LEE. They have since changed hands a couple of times and are now either in Georgia or Nevada. Komo hulls are splash hulls as are most of the Deltas. There are two Delta molds in Ontario in poor condition. Several people have thought of making new Critchfield and or Delta molds, but the cost is too high for the demand. The Rapid Craft molds would be a better choice provided they are in good shape and you got both decks.
