    I am a total idiot because I know that if I sell this boat that I will almost instantly look for another one. Also believe it or not, these are the most fun you can have with a steering wheel in your hands...

    20181127_204151.jpg 20231209_162051.jpg 20231209_161826.jpg My old Hondo Vdrive cut away deck semi runner bottom ,
    Was said to be there factory show boat in 76 so I was told . Was raced in the late 70's to early 80's so I was told.
    I bought it from a guy who used to keep it up at Lale Pillsbury CA in the summer and went through it and built a engine for it.
    Twin Predators on a 502 BBC before Chevy made a 502.perfect. Had nitrous 20211025_181654.jpg 20181127_204151.jpg 20231209_162051.jpg 20231209_161826.jpg
    Sold it around 1992.

    Scared me evertime I took it out so it was pefect. Women liked it men feared it.

    Here is one that @Moriarity would have built :cool: How would you like to be under the "Dome of Silence" with the 409 running?

    Ugh. You're out on a lake on a hot summer day, getting cooked by the sun and that W-motor. Great idea.

    I believe you're spot on. It looks like it was a fancy tow cover/show cover. Sure looks like they put a lot of effort into that cover. I hate the idea of putting snaps on my hulls. Imagine trying to keep that thing on and clean.

    A console and a stick shift. That 409 is about as pretty as an engine can get.
