George Hiro owned many boats, this one was the 3rd boat taken out of the Ziegler/Perri mold.  According to Jim Rucki, one of the interesting things about George Hiro is that he was a fireman who had a lot of time on his hands.  He frequently changed the paint scheme on his boat(s) every year and each season everyone would eagerly await his arrival to see what his new design would be.

  According to Jim Rucki, the photo at the left was taken shortly after George hit a buoy in a race, as he drove by the judges he was looking for a thumbs up to continue racing or a thumbs down, to stop.  Fortunately for George the judges gave him the thumbs up to continue racing.

 This next series of photos shows Hiro on I'm Leagal with Zbranak behind him.  As Zbranak comes around the turn, his boat slides out and looses the numbers on his boat.
