I bought the boat because it just looked fast. Only after researching, I found that Herters have quite the following. Herters is still in business selling hunting equipment through Cabelas. The earlier Mk I & II Flying Fish models have exaggerated fins unlike the sleek Mk III. When purchased, there was no windshield. When I saw a Mk II Flying Fish with clear bubble windshields I started to envision the boat as you see it - smoked dark tint low bubble windshields, Ferrari Fly Yellow paint over black antifouling paint (the boat stays in the lake all season). This boat weighs 400 lbs with aluminum transom, stringers and polished castings, a 25 HP Johnson easily propels it. In its day it was advertised as the fastest runabout available (with a 75 HP). My boat (affectionately known as "The Bat Boat" on the lake), throws up a wall of water off the bow, always getting plenty of "thumbs-up". I'm selling our lake house and this classic deserves an appreciative caretaker.
