METEOR V
After returning from the Vietnam War in 1972, Mark went in search of a Garwood he was told lay in an old apple orchard in Parma. The owner denied having a Garwood, but admitted that he had a 1922 John Hacker speedboat in his barn. A deal was made and Mason began researching his new acquisition and found her to be METEOR V, the Gold Cup racer originally campaigned by W.B. Wilde of Peoria, Illinois, who set seven world records in hydroplane competition.
