Is this Speed Racer? Tank? LS/Jr?

I didn't go out for the test ride with my dad when he bought it, but Gary (and my dad) complained of being sore a day or two after my dad ran it around. We had a lot of fun with that boat and ran it hard every poker run. When the run started the throttles were on the dash. However, no expense was spared on maintaining the boat at TNT either (ouch). After we sold it LS ran it in the SCOPE PR for the new owner and I believe was the 2nd Vee to one of the card stops behind that 42 Fountain with big power/6's.
I saw the new pics of Speed Racer and although it looks like he did a hell of a job re-doing it I really liked the original paint. These (4) boats should never be changed. Sorry I wasn't on here sooner but looks like the question was answered!

Although it already had a Lip Ship redo prior to my owning it. Still love it though!!

That's a great boat. Randy wild owned it for a while. I always really like the F2 single step that was painted with the cloudy blue paint with cigarette down the side. Believe it's at LOTO now. There was a 33 cafe open painted to match as a support boat but unfortunately that boat was re-stored and they got rid of the cloud paint job.

Very true! That was a nice boat, and nobody Updates a boat like Lip-Ship. Ran with Randy a couple times while he owned it.
