1968 Switzer Shooting Star
Please don't jump me for being an old guy with an old boat but I got what I had been searching for for 35 years. We ran it today,what a trip.Takes forever to get on plane,then a wild porpoise until about 65 mph then the 125 Merc with SSM lower unit kicks in, the stern raises, the bow drops and it is a ride I have never experianced in all my boating years. The 10 minute ride was worth the high price I paid for a piece of history.Boat did maybe 80 but it felt like 120. Karen will post some photos later

I should put the photo of Dano out of gas paddling, we saved him with the Tige. |
83.7 GPS but got a few more props to try. I am in strange territory here,this boat and engine is 35 years old and I can't remember all the stuff I knew in 1968,heck,I can't remember what I had for lunch today . I'm calling in some of my buddiies from the old days but I figure they won't remember any more than I do. Old age is a mess.
