Q. 1. Is engine 244 c.i. fireball with triple down draft carbs or a 225c.i. “Racing Fireball “that was sold only to APBA members? If so hp would be 180 or more and qualified for racing in the popular 225 Class. Gray also built a 244 c.i.
Racing Fireball with 190hp or more. Not sure what class it raced in.
Q. 2. What is the whitish box on the floor in front of the drivers seat? With the exhaust, box and shift lever there appears to be little space for the drivers legs and feet. Also, the gas peddle seems to be on the far side of the shift lever. How does that work out?

I’m a collector. Among my collection are 2 Ventnor 135 Class three point hydros. I am interested in your boat particularly if it could race in the 225 Service Boat Class of vintage racing boats.
