TOPIC: Flo and Progressive Insurance boat , again

About 2 months ago, there was a discussion of the finned fiberglass boat that Flo of Progressive Insurance was operating in the TV commercial. The boat was identified as a " Baracuda" by one poster.
I can't seem to find a boat named Baracuda ( or Barracuda) that looks like the one in the ad, so I'm not convinced as to the make of the boat. Can anyone provide more evidence on this subject ? Thanks.

I got a capture of the commercial:, but I dont know the boat:

The ebay ad listed it as a 1959 Holiday Redfish. cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649&item=350564466753&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT#v4-37

I heard it was done by Sakowski Motor in L.A. www.sakowskimotors.com/detail.asp?carid=587

Thanks for the tip ! The eBay ad, however, still leaves exact identification in question. We don't have much information about "Holiday" brand boats on the forum, but what we do have doesn't look like the Flo boat. However, it may indeed be a " Holiday" brand . We have a lot of information about " Red Fish" boats, but the boat Flo is operating doesn't look exactly like any of the period Redfish ads we have. Close, but no cigar. So, I'm still not sure. It might be one of the Red Fish/Glastron/Iola modifications that Lee Wangstad describes in his article about Red Fish boats, but that's only a guess.

I would have bet that it wasn't a Holiday brand boat, since it looks very different from my 1959 Holiday, but after seeing this boat in a Craigslist ad, which lists it as a Holiday, I'm not so sure. They could be the same boat... [img] [img]http://www.fiberglassics.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/XYZ.jpg

BadgerBoater- That certainly does look like the boat Flo is driving. Assuming that both sources who say it's a Holiday had an ID tag on their boats confirming the brand, I'm convinced it's a Holiday. Thanks !
