declassified was mint.... total resto....

I towed the boat from Keith at CK Motorsports in Mi to its owner in south san francisco, ca. That was about 6 months ago.

there ya have it

------There are some guys down the street from my shop here in Marine City that claim they have a govt. contract on developing a boat similar to this. It is a typical deep V, but has an indent all around the hull sides for a flotation tube (?). Dont know what its powered by but it has some really neat prototype drives on it that appear very slick. Doors are always closed due to it being a bit cold around here at the moment so havent been able to poke around as much as I would like..........Bill S

Where are you located, Marine City. Florida? Michigan? what state.
Tell us more about the boat being developed.
Jim in TX

-----Jim,,,I wish I could impart a bit more info but I just dont have any other than its Marine City, Mi. I talked to them twice. They were a bit evasive. Said they were busy,,, but I could tell that this boat didnt seem to be more than a fast people mover (many seats) as opposed to a weapons platform or anything like that. I talked to them one other time and didnt find out any more than the first time except for what I related before. Just havent had a chance to go back there since summer........Bill S

You could sell the gov. a .05 bolt from lowes for $200 bucks

I have HSB 53 in Marine City MI. It's nearing completion.

Here are pics of Jeff's (HSBdriver1) boat in Marine City, MI

------This isnt the boat I was referring to but I know it some as I have been watching the resto thru all its stages. Its a work of art and is approaching completion, I believe, just as HSB stated.........Bill S
