Race Boat Hull ID Help

OK, picked this little hulls up today and am looking for history/background. The yellow one has an SVX hull ID prefix.

Jim, any idea? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I have a post over there too, and getting lots of conflicting information. The SVX MIC I'm pretty sure belongs to Wilkes.

Thank you Sir! Just out of curiosity, what class were they running in at that time? Probably run as a Fat C under the new mini boat rules.

I'm currently redoing the trailer for the SilverWing and plan to get it back on the water very soon. Say, 40hp Tohatsu?

Thanks again.
