Tarantula is a later Stapely Hawk, ski race boat. That was her race name way back when. Wooden hot moulded hull. I have an earlier version of the same boat with an '84 115 Merc stack on her, also an ex ski racer (ex. Dennis Holmes & Jim Cox).
Mimi's (1960 Healey Sprite, newly restored) white Merc is in fact an 80 - never made in white. The owner built it up from bits, painted it white & put '35hp' on to to fool his wife into coming out with him, it's technically her boat as it was paid for with an inheritance from Aunt Mimi!
