Howard GN 20', DOES ANYONE HAVE ONE OR ANY PIC's you can post up. Was a popular boat at Arrowhead in the early 70's ski-racing.
I went through 5 pages and didn't see one howard 20?

My bad! I was meaning 20s in general. There is not a Howard in there. I cannot remember ever seeing a Howard 20.
that looks nothing like a rush
The bottom I think is the same. Deck is different. I was told this by someone in the know. :skull
Grier ?
I've been told (not by Rush but by others) Rush started with this hull (or at least the bottom) when he built his GN mold. He may have added two strakes to the bottom, I think the Howard GN has four strakes and the Rush has six (?).

Just a bit of trivia. The Howard 20 GN seen in the photos (SC 47) was owned and driven by Don McCormick from Oklahoma. In its day, one of the most dominate marathon boats on record with Keith Black Hemi Chrysler power. In ski racing, Bob Dyer from Phoenix also had a very fast Howard 20 with supercharged Keith Black Hemi power. The 19-foot vee that Howard sold (and SKV also had a version of it too) was originally built by Len Schiada (one of the last projects Len completed at his Gardena location before he passed). The first 19 Schiada was built and sold to Dick Colburn. Dick used it for both ski racing and occasional marathons. Jim Hart and his son Bert, both employees of Schiada and excellent plug makers, did most of the labor.
