I can’t thank you enough for putting this out here. I’m originally from Evansville and my first exposure to the sport was through Bill and Mr, Frisbee here in Evansville.
I stack my tools next to the restored hull in Pay n Pak colors at the Hydro Museum. As a young hydro fan , that hull looked like it was connected to an invisible chairlift as the boat didn’t seem to move as much as boats around it. Not as fast but 2/3rds of most laps are in the turn , where this boat could run faster than others. Exit turn faster and you reach top speed faster too . At 28’ , the shorter hull makes it act wider. Makes it feel stable like a car with wider tires. Wing was NOT adjusted at races but could be setup for each course. Some mental games played on this topic. Can lead your opponent into wasted efforts while you keep a poker face. I think Lucero cooled off when he got to build the turbine Pak to outpace Munceys next hull , the Blu Blaster.
That hull will always be the Pay-N-Pak to me!!!!! My favorite boat of all time.
