4 engines 4 drives per boat. Amount of engines does not surprise me. The back of the trailer says "Gentry Surface Drives" if he was also selling drives the 80 amount would not surprise me. My biggest problem is I was a junior in high school when this was packed up. Need to say I was chasing something else in that era and it was not offshore boats...:) also facebook link looks pretty legit...
I've never had anyone question who I was before but anyways. Mike T, you seem like someone whos been on here a while and posted a lot, you've got my phone number if you don't believe who I am I guess you could call me, or google me, you know how to use google right? I've been vintage car racing for years :). [email protected] if you want to email me too. anyways sigh.. I'll keep you guys up to date was just looking for some help trying to figure out what all this stuff is. shaun |
I am currently talking to "orionbbs" on face book and it is NOT Darr, you can see his profile on face book and you can tell by just viewing it it's not a fake person.
