Best CC was awarded to Conquest, the 1924 26-ft. utility with the converted Curtis aircraft engine, pictured above. Chris Smith said CC bought the engines as WWI surplus for not a lot of money, then modified them for marine use. He said the low cost was a big factor in the company becoming a high volume boat manufacturer.
