Chariots of fire ..emmins ran that hard until he crash it off the east coast you right I dont think it's that boat. I still think it might be one of the old bandit outboard boats.

chariots of fire cracked in the middle and had a different deck, the 31 never worked that good, they made a lot of bottom changes like covered up the notch in the transom but was never a rocket, i thought baha bandit was a 33, believer was a 31 there a un riged 31 that has the race deck like this one that was made for special editon(delia) bouncing around here for sale . ross made a lot of product and it all seems to pop up now and then, and he should never be in the same conversation with the dead beat " KLYM"

Those looks similar, the tops are definitely different but that coupe be changed. I looked very close for OB bracket or repairs were they were covered up. No top rails on the bow, also no front marker lights. The top it %100 flat from the wind screen to the bow. Ill get a couple int. & engine compartment pics.

I raced with ironhead & his dad in their 33' Image cat [MOTOR CITY MAGIC]. Back in 1987 she ran around 115 mph in the APBA modified class with 366cu smallblocks, I loved that cat.
