I'm about to start building the Craftmasters 1/25 Pay' N Pak. Beautiful model! Question: the instructions call for an orange engine block. In recent pics it appears to be black. Has anyone seen the restored boat close up? Also, I haven't found any good, clear pics of the engine, both for color and hose/wire layouts. Appreciate any thoughts.

That sure looks Good! Is that a 1/25 scale kit from Craftmasters? Great job on a GREAT Boat.

Since I am in CO and can't make the Crew Lecture tonight I will spend the evening enjoying the Video Vault treasures devoted to the Pay-N-Pak...

Hail The Pay-N-Pak and All Hail The Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum!

Though I will not be able to attend the lecture I did receive my orange Booster T-shirt in the mail yesterday and it is AWESOME!

Hail Pay-N-Pak!

I was at the Stan Sayers pits for the debut of the brand new 1973 Pay 'N Pak.  This home movie was taken from a 8mm movie camera (without sound).  The Pay 'N Pak footage starts at about 47 seconds .  I had the movie transferred to DVD and then uploaded to YouTube.

One of my all time favorites. Can't wait to the Pak back on the water.
