George....if you want a new design for a low windshield, contact my son in Florida....he helped Chad in Texas and Chad was very pleased with the result.

Check out the photos on the website and the video of the black boat running on Lake Conroe in Texas.

Good luck with the boat....anything we can do to help, let us know.

Charlie, Thanks for the offer. When I get to that point, I'll contact
your son. Shawn, the yellow I/O that Josh still has is hull #19. That's
the one you know about. He doesn't want to sell it...it does need a lot
of work. Original yellow gel coat w/ bbc w/ closed cooling system.
Hope to see you both at Borden.

You can really make those twin outboards run really good....especially in the ocean.

I drove "Second Choice" in a Plymouth 160 race one year. The owner who was 65 when he first ordered it, wasnot feeling up to the race and asked me the day before to drive his boat. Rough race, I think we did very well?? Too many races and they all start to blend together.

We had some good times and made some fast boats....not any 200 MPH missles, but fun for us anyway.

Say hi to the MRS and the boys.....I guess young men by now, would be more accurate.

Sweet G !!
I thought it was the i/o from down the cape.

O/B x2 should be cool !

Power plans ?
$hit if it doesn't have useable power, im sure you know you could find some mid to late 90s
Evinrude or maybe mercs for $4 / $5 g & be stylin on the cheap.

These things run 20 or 25 mids ?

Mike, she has 20's that are the original equipment. I'll try to save the
200's for now even if they are not 100%.
