hat's off to Tom & wife for undertaking a massive refurbish of Betty Cook's Kaama rae boat! ..... the financial cost to bring her back? ...an amazing sacrifice!

What an amazing restoration! Congratulations to all involved and so neat to see that the owner kept everything as "period-correct" as possible. I love the stack injection with efi to keep the original look and feel but have modern day tuneability. I wish we saw more of these restorations, but I understand why we don't. Unlike classic race cars, these classic raceboat restorations don't command any big resale dollars, yet they still cost a ton of money and time to perform just the same. Thanks for sharing this with us Matt!
