Howard UFH,
I have the "Wild World of Drag Boats" poster, Smoke on the Water is a badass boat..

My buddy is selling one right now. you can look at it on dragboats.com under the name "under pressure". it's a 8 second Kurtis 500.

Tim Morgan of Ca. piloted 'Morgans Flying Machine' a few years back,which was the larger Kurtis

my father was real close to tim morgan and donna morgan. he also worked on the flying maching back in the day. i personally has 1 of the few yellow crew shirts from his BAH hyrdo days . my father also helped tim went he tried dragsters but was not so successful in it.
as far as "the flying maching" back when tim was running BAH he would only use the sanger light layup hulls. thats how he broke so many records . tim would go direct to ol sanger jack for hulls. tim didnt go to kurtis till he went full and it was after the sangers would get to light in the tail at the lights. i have orig pics of tims BAH and BFH up close. I have heard in tims garage is the alcohol sanger he broke several records.

Norm Grimes ownes the molds, right now the molds are at 3-D boats being layed up.

i believe 3-D boats has the 501 (small) hydro. Arlen and i were talking about the big hydro (Eddie hill style) just a few days ago and he said it was sold to a guy back east. he said its been off the grid for awhile. not sure where it is at.

well wolfie bought the large kurtis mold, which he builds under the watercraft name. as far as the hulls from the 70's named brendell or kinsavater those hulls where very close to what arlen built as a large kurtis, there was no differnce between the kindsavater and a large kurtis which kurtis bought the mold from kindsvater.
