Hi, Loved the video and seeing your beautiful Elco, especially at speed. I own a 1939 Elco 53 named "Valorian". It's been in the family since 1974. Its very original, but is now getting a full restoration. She has 3 blade props, but always knew quads gave more fwd speed. About 4-5 53's exist and maybe three 57's. I'm a naval architect, specialize in restoration and only one with a few original Elco factory blueprints, not even Mystic Seaport. Would love to compare notes & say hello. Scott J.
