Cleavland Propeller
 

Trying to find out about it's history. It was #57, I think it was an old Formula. I have some pics of it in it's resting place but they're too big to post and I haven't been able to shrink them down.

Re: Cleavland Propeller
 

I saw a red and white hull with that name on its side in New Baltimore Mi a few years back, this may help you track it down,, the next time I go by there i will look for it..

Outcast1 - try opening the images using a run of the mill photo software programme. Then try the edit bar - should be second from the left at the top. Then try the F2 Image resize option. You should be able to re-size them by percentage. If you have no joy send them to me. I will re-size them for you.

might want to track down steve hromcheck it was his boat

Re: Cleavland Propeller
 

Steve sold the business a few years back. The boat is an old Formula that raced with GLOPRA in the late 70's early eighties... Steve's son Ron still lives in the Cleveland area. I'll see if I can raise a number or e-mail.

Re: Cleavland Propeller
 

There was a guy in cleveland named Stycicle that raced GLOPRA back in the day. He had 2 race boats, Lil Scorpion and Big scorpion...looks like one of them.

It is currently in harrison township MI, 32 mile and gratiot
It is in rough shape, deck is pretty rotted with growth on a non roadworthy trailer

Here it is today. Sad. Anyone got anymore history?

steve bought that boat off the owner on the detroit river when it was sunk at the dock. the no. 77 was originally 17 at race day, but 17 was taken, some black tape and there ya go. i have some good stories about that boat and of cleveland propellor when i worked there. steve and shirley are retired in florida now and steve 80 yrs old is reconditioning gem golf carts. no boat anymore, but i'll tell him the boat is still around

Do tell. We love stories about the classics.

WOW. How did the deck/cap get so effed up?! I've never seen anything like that before.

Sitting outside in Michigan uncovered for 20 + years..:eek:

Just seen back for sale in Detroit Craigslist this week

Is there a reasonable offer???? Lots of love needed there.

I grew up watching Steve and Ronny run that boat. Would be cool to see here brought back to life.

Andy this thing is so bad the rats jumped ship on this one as this Formula's bones have been picked over one to many times...

I bet. She was not really the best race boat ever built. Very heavy.

Is free and offer?

He is picking who gets it he wants it to go to someone that may breathe new life into it
