Hy Style was owned by the Nardello family from somewhere in MA. There was a son called Franny, who was a friend of my sister. He had a varnished "Yellow Jacket" runabout with a 25-35 hp Mercury. It was a beautiful boat and was pretty fast in those days, late 50s early 60s. There were some interesting boats in the neighborhood. A friend bought an early inboard raceboat powered by a Ford flathead V-8 with straight exhausts, his father made him sell it because he figured he would probably kill himself. There were several 8 foot hydroplanes, with Scottatwater or Merc motors, and a Dunfey 55, with a large Ford V-8 and a stepped hull, but the prettiest was a big varnished Chris Craft Holiday from Pine Point.
