Hey Toasty....
I'm confused...(usually more now that I'm getting old)...
is your boat the 3 man boat from Margate/Ventnor that had crash boxes/small blocks and trs's?
If not...anyone know where that boat is?
I looked at that boat ,through Hugh at RPM, many moons ago while living on Brigantine....loved it then, would trade the Rum Runner in a heartbeat...
Thanks...

Toasty....for nearly a decade I've wondered where the heck it went...thanks, I'll sleep tonight...
I was down there looking for my "next step", and Hugh, who has long since moved on, said "Hey, I know this guy...." and made a call...I used to live on Austin Ave. Oddly, the trip from Sommers Point back toward AC was like a trip back in time...I worked there in 90, looked at the boat when it had one mismatched iron/aluminum motors in maybe...96 before RPM moved/flopped....is this it/you?

yes that is me, Christian Del Collo.
Byrdman took that picture at his place a long time ago. Yes, it had too different motors when i bought it, one was a GM crate engine with alum heads. Now they are matched with same inches intakes etc. that was right before a storm and i was flushing to stay ahead of the rain. usually i bring it back to the warehouse but didnt make it that far and stopped at his place, or i think he called me and told me to bring it there b/c he knew my bronco and trailer with no breaks would be problematic in the rain.
