4 engines 4 drives per boat. Amount of engines does not surprise me. The back of the trailer says "Gentry Surface Drives" if he was also selling drives the 80 amount would not surprise me. My biggest problem is I was a junior in high school when this was packed up. Need to say I was chasing something else in that era and it was not offshore boats... also facebook link looks pretty legit...

Funny that guys doing kind of what we are doing with the Mustang. We are tube framing it all using basically a modern day NASCAR front clip and frame rails. Oh and we are widening the car 18"'s heh pretty crazy stuff.

Cool! I'm about 5mins from Stevens Creek Blvd. give me a call when your in town. I only keep 1 race car usually at the house. Right now its one of my IMSA GTO Buicks. The Impala comes back in May so if your around then I can show you her. The Mustang should be done in March at least thats when we've committed to the magazine to finish her up. Then it'll be my daily driver, I'm crazy like that heh
