Does any one know any more information about my late father’s boat “Lindy Lou” He purchased the Lewis hull new in SYDNEY in 1952, he fitted a 6 cyl. side valve Dodge (dry sumped )with triple su carburettors & 6 tuned length megaphone exhaust pipes & maximum rpm was 5400 rpm.
He won many trophies including the Bill Burrell trophy and was the Australian title holder in 1953 winning the Robert Dewhey trophy at an average speed of 59.35 mph for the 10 mile race on the Hume weir. The boat was timed at 68 mph during the race (not bad for 1953).
The fastest timed speed of Lindy Lou was 76 mph at Lake Cooper in Vic. The boat was sold in 1959 and was seen racing at Negambie in the mid 1960’s on Easter Sunday.
