This twin hydro is a "blast from the past" myself and Larry Hutches ( now deceased) used to run this style of twin & single hydro back in the early
to late 90's with Picco 90's. The hull looks very similar to a hydro style that was produced by a guy from the New Orleans, LA. area or possibly a
Roadrunner hull which was very popular back in that time period, can't remember who was manufacturing them back when we were running them
but they are still being built today in the latest competition designs. As Hydro Junkie stated above Picco 90 engines are no longer made and parts
are very hard to come by. These engines are a powerhouse when they are tuned right, but can also "grenade" in a second if they go off tune or ingest
any water. Larry & I sold all of our Picco and OPS 90 spares to some guy up in Canada that had come down to run at the 2006 Atlanta Hydro Invitational,
he bought all of our 67 & 90 Roadrunner twin riggers and engines and spare parts.

You would probably have a better chance of stirring up some interest and finding out more about this boat if you were to visit www.intlwaters.com, it is
a web site that is up to date in the world of model boat racing. Good luck with your quest to sell this master piece!!!!!!!!!!
