Mishey Custom Models<br />
<br />
Phoenix, Arizona<br />
<br />
<br />
George Mishey and his wife, Virginia (Gina) built custom outboard race boats first in Cleveland, Ohio then Phoenix, Arizona. Besides race boats, in 1958 they offered the Mishey Customliner, a 15' fiberglass outboard runabout. Both were accomplished racers. Gina won the 1940 Ohio State championship in midget hydroplane racing in an event in Cleveland, Ohio. George was national champion in Class F hydroplane racing on Lake Mead in 1946. In 1959, the Misheys built a custom 3-point A-B class hydroplane for Dieter Konig, maker of the famous [[Konig]] outboard race motors. Konig had previously won the world championship in another Mishey boat. Mishey also supplied boats to Glen Brewster, a high-point hydroplane racing champion. See the 1958 article below for more information on their racing accomplishments.<br />
<br />
<br />
George started racing in 1925 and started building boats in 1930. Gina raced for eight years, retiring before their move to Phoenix in 1943.<br />
<br />
<br />
Besides building boats, the Misheys were [[Mercury]] outboard motor dealers. <br />
