That was the one I was thinking of that was all black....

In the late 80's when I was growing up, my parents neighbor at their cottage in Marblehead had a 35 cig. It was dark blue hull and red deck with a raised engine hatch. It had some silver on the side I think. I had Lucky Strike on the side. Don't know what it had for power but was extremely loud. He was from Cleveland, Parma I think. He docked the boat a Lakevue Marina.

It also had a lot of teak, on the floor and the dash. I loved that boat.

-----The boat had almost totally dry pipes so that may be the one. Lots of teak also correct as even the hatches were varnished teak, but I believe I hauled it out there in 89 when I sold it so would have been 1990 before they used it, probably. Also, the boat had a large, oval Cigarette logo painted on the foredeck.
-----Wouldnt have sold it but wanted to go back drag racing and needed the coin. In the end I traded for an almost new, white, lowered Chevy dually that I used to tow the race car with......Bill S

The guys name was Frank, cant think of his last name. He had a diesel repair shop around Cleveland.

if he raced Turbo Buicks I think I know of him, and he lived in parma, and worked on heavy equipment diesels

Frank Fiala was his name I think. Don't know if he raced Buicks though.

-----Soooo,,,,Any further ideas as to weather the boat exists today or not??? Just askin........Bill S
