Here is the story I got; Very early in 1957, General Motors backed a circle boat team. The contracted Pearson Marine to build 6 boats for the 1958 season. Late 1957, Biesemeyer and Pearson split, Rusty took the molds and top designs with him, I've heard them called bubble top or bubble tails. They still had to complete the contract. Pearson Marine built 6 "Chined" narrow tale circle hulls out fitted with 409 GM big block engines and full race equipped to mate to the 6 Biesemeyer rolled stern, winged, slit cock pit bubble top. The story goes onto say they were dominate boats till 1962, in 1963 another builder brought out the low profile boat and the old wave cutter bow boat could not compete with the new boats. From 1962 to 1967 I am not sure what was up with the boat. In mid 1967 a GM engineer aquired the boat and re-outfitted it as a sport/ski boat, all though it was still a stab & steer design.
I have her, and have for about 16 years now. She was a 55mph stab & steer flatty till the stringers gave out, unfortunately I tried to put in new stringers, I do't know how to do fiberglass so long story short, need the right hard wood, prepped properly, and some one that knows how to lay "MARINE" glass.
If there is anyone that can verify this please help. these pics may help
