They were very cool, look at the top picture, taken at the boat ramp in Millville, NJ on the Maurice River. That was my father's in 1968, with a BP125. I was three years old, apparently tunnel boat hot-rods and a three year old boy were not the right boating combination, so the tunnel was sold, and then came the Donzi, in the below picture, bought new in 1969.

Good find.

That was a 1963 split window, and that was a completely fresh water ramp. Good catch on the car. The Donzi in the below picture was towed by a 197O Carmaro Z-28. Back then he would race abnybody and anything, father would race cars on the highway, boats on the water, and snowmobilers on any frozen lake or stretch of trail or road.

That is why I like speed today, and I can appreciate this thread on an old hot-rod like the Carlson that Biggus posted. Beforwe my father died he said the Carlson would piss-off some of those flatbottom hot-rods, that Carlson was a fasty boat in that time period.
