The photo looks like it was taken at Lake X. The boat in the water is a 35 foot Magnum that raced in the Bahamas races of the mid to late 60's. It never did do that well, too wide without enough power.

Where can it be found today?? Good question.

It would be cool. I almost bought one of the 35's with gas inboards and put a bracket on it!!! Why not right. I saw a 35 Bertram in Florida with a bracket and twin 250's........next project
