Always liked that boat, its been on ebay a TON of times. Seems like it might be a bravo killer? IIRC someone on her won it in the 50s and there was a thread on it.

I've see that one up close and ran next to it on a fun run...dam awesome machine. I would say if you dial those motors down to about 600ish those drives are surviving.
