This is a heartfelt plea for anyone that may have any information whatsoever (or better yet photo's) on the history or whereabouts of this historic racer "The EGYPTIAN"....Although very similar she is not to be confused with the other beautiful green "The EGYPTIAN" that we posted some time back that was advertised in a Trading Post link (A big thanks to Juddcraft guru Keith for clearing that up for us).Affectionately known to the Twitchin's as "THE GYPO" ,this '77 Juddcraft Pharoah that they skied their very first Bridge 2 Bridge with, was the beloved boat that changed the family's lives.This is the original "The EGYPTIAN" that was purchased from Barry Judd who campaigned her with a blown big block through the late 70's circuit and even ski racing her (6th outright '79 b2b).She was adorned with a fabulous King Tut mural on the deck and had a spectacular metalflake and hieroglyphics finish performed by the famous Brown Bros.The Twitchin's had numerous class wins with her first powered by a stock 350 and last with a tunnel rammed LS 454 with which she was sold to a friend in '83.Little is known of her after that ,so once again, PLEASE get in contact if you have any pics or info on this special boat so I can put you in touch with Steve.We would also be rapt if anyone would like to share any memories they may have of her in the comments box . ...cheers .......***UPDATE; Whoops,I mistakenly stated her as a Pharoah, very sorry to cause any confusion.She is actually a Juddcraft Egyptian hull which were based on the Whitely Louise J design. The shorter Pharoah hulls originate from the Whitely Tantrum mould. Juddy also produced many of his own designs that we hope to elaborate more on in the future.(cheers Keith)
