NZ SPEEDBOAT HISTORY

Gone Heavy

Kerry and Stuart Smith are in the process of having “Gone Heavy” restored by Peter Stillwell. “Gone Heavy” was imported from the USA and raced by Peter Knight. Then Mike Southward raced her as his first “Lady Bug” followed in the early 90’s by Val Smith who raced her as “True-Colours” before it was left in the shed for years. It was dragged out again 99ish with Paul Marshall driving it for a couple of years then in 2001 Kerry had a couple of drives before a rod broke and destroyed the engine and it once again it became a shed ornament.
