I posted pictures on RCU of these boats in my mates loft/workshop some years ago. The second Campbell Cat was bought from my mate by ORCDA (Bob McC) but without the paint job. If you run the Cat with the air dam set incorrectly it will TAKE OFF!. The cat (Millennium Racer) was made by Millar to give to Lorne Campbell.

Paul (my mate) has just told me that the Seebold was the very last hull that Millar produced and that he still has an AMPS speedo in his possession which is for sale.
Just for a laugh, the air intakes on the canopy of 'Millennium' are a vacuum cleaner (nozzle) attachment split into two (and his wife has not missed the item yet).

There were only the two made by Millar, yours and Bob's. That makes them rare in my book.

I wonder if that one is still around and where it is now? We, (my friend Paul) and I, never saw it on display at Millar's home or in his workshop, only the two that Paul bought when Millar retired.
I will speak to Paul tonight about the speedo. If you want to PM me your email address then I will pass it on so that you two can "talk" direct. He may have some idea as to manufacturing date but I cannot help there.

Well, I finally got a Hodges tunnel. This one came from Germany, and was shipped by one of our friends here on this forum. DHL shipped the package one month to the day ago, and the tracking started, then disappeared, only to pop up this morning as it had arrived in my town, and was delivered a couple hours later. Due to the excellent packing job, no damage occured! Thanks Kai!
Here it is..its rough, but very restorable. My first job is to get the rest of the old paint off. When it arrived, the cowling was John Deere green. I quickly found it easy to use scotch tape to peal off the paint, as the previous owner did not sand the white gel coat on the cowling...thank the lord! So I got it mostly striped. Here it is..When I get done, it will be a Peter Stuyvesant Hodges tunnel again! Enjoy, Mike

I let it go until now.
The pic above is the one you posted in 2010 - we talked about Bill Payne and his boats (see page 85 of this thread).
Did you ever run the boat I have now (the orange and yellow flamed boat)?
I purchased an AMPS outboard lower unit, but it doesn't have a power head.

Hey - I thought so. I asked you this when I first got the boat, but your response was that you "still had the boat", which was impossible because I now owned it - lol.
