I do not remember which side the helm was on ,but I do remember that U-Joints were right under my ass and given the condition of the rest of the boat I was a bit nervous.

I don't remember anything "tickling".
More like I was waiting for the U-joint to explode
Sending shrapnel into my body.

From what I've seen, less than 40 were made between 1964 thru 1971?
This appears to be one earlier than 1967....

I got in touch with the owner of the property where the boat is kept.... He said a resto was started, and the guy who was doing the work moved to Florida.... It's been sitting at LEAST 15 years in that spot....
The property owner said the boats owner is still around....
The plot thickens....
