Here's an article on Leonard Schiada that Marc(boatguy222) sent me. :thumbsup

Thought it would be appreciated in this section.

How do I upload it so it's maintains its original readable size?

I'm not sure how you would do that. PM Forensic and ask him how to do it.. He will know.

[SS 201]

Len was a good friend and built my SS 201, was beautiful, handled like a dream. He blueprinted the hull and it ran like a scauled dog. The boat resideds in the Orilla. Canada, still orignal as I ran it 39 yrs ago. It was the only Schiada in the east
He was way ahead of his time, also his wife Doreen was a very nice person. RIP LEN MY FRIEND

Do you have any old photos of your boat?

Go to a search type in Bill Burgess, go to boats owned and drivenl There is a great picture SS 201 taken in Valleyfield, Que. During this time frame it was the fastest SS in the East, first time in the water won the Easteren divisonal, Buffalo, NY. In Buffalo < NY 1970 won a trophy for closest to a world record of any class run that race. Still have the trophy.
