Default Dauntless

My son and I headed out to the lake this past Saturday and some great friends met us there with this surprise. This Dauntless is owned by Alfredo and I belive he said he built it over 20 years ago. The homlite powered the yatch with ease and looked fantastic out on the water. I am still waiting on the video and will post a link as soon as it arrives.

Rich,

We didn't have our camera equipment with us so we weren't able to capture the details he put into it. All of the decking is made from individual strips of wood and the brass, railings and lighting were all hand made by Alfredo. When he ran it years ago it had a sunshade covering part of the bridge area as well. Here are some videos I pulled from a IPhone better ones will be posted later on.

Hi Leo,

AND it flies across the water just like a Dauntless should! Very cool!

His Dauntless looks like it's ready to take on a Super-Vee!

What a great power setup! I may have to help my buddy get his old abandoned Dauntless powered up this way...
