Back in the '80's there was a boat running around Lake Simcoe in Ontario called Rough and Tumble. It was an open concept with twin V8 Evinrudes. I can't remember the owner but his kids were Mark and Mike Ivan. I think it ran in the high 70's and made a sound like the hounds of hell were powering it. Anyone know this boat or what became of it?

118 views and no response - looks like I stumped y'all. The guys used to have a cottage on the south shore of Kempenfelt Bay with their own gas pump right at the dock. There was a 21ft. Challenger in a lift and a Charger 18DL alongside the bigger boat.

His name was Charlie Ivan. My cottage is 4 doors from theirs. They've been gone 15 years at least

Right, I recall he wouldn't let his boys ride in my boat because it flew clear of the water most of the time. My place was directly across the lake in Shanty Bay.

Still can't figure out what kind of boat that was.

It was a 27 magnum

They also got a shadow cat later on after they sold the cottage
