Mandella boat called Rawhide

[hustlertunnel1]

Does anyone know info or the where abouts of
a single seat Mandella called Rawhide that
was in an Elvis movie called Clambake? It had a 427 w/2x4 and made by Lou Brummett in
the mid 60's. It has a white deck and sort of rootbeer or tangerine sides and bottom.
Elvis raced it in the movie. Please reply.

I purchased a new Mandella, the same as Carson's "Gunsmoke" in 1976. At that time I delt with Lou's wife on the purchase. The boat was Carson's design, 20 feet long. At that time I asked Lou's wife about Rawhide and the Elvis move. She told me there was only one boat they rented to the movie company and that was rawhide lou's race boat. I asked her what happened to Rawhide after Lou's death? She told me the boat was repaired and as Lou would have wanted his ashes were placed in the boat and taken out to sea and sunk. She said no one (except her) knows the place it was sunk at.
