Interesting question. I confess, even though an old Flatbottom guy, it seems to me that the museum, and by association, this website tends to place more emphasis on Hydroplanes than other forms of "raceboats". This is only by way of suggesting that your inquiry might receive more knowlegable attention from the group that favors this type of racing craft - lacking the training wheels. (I'm going to take some heat over that comment).

Keith, There is a website that is pretty much flatbottom boats and I am sure they can help you.
What are your plans for the boat and where are you located.

Hi Keith... I'm Bills nephew. I've seen pictures all my life around the hydroplane world and have never seen this boat before, and am clueless of its origin. Also, it's the first ever I heard of his name being stamped on parts?? Im curious what you find out and will forward this to my cousins (his sons) as to what they know..... the best....
