ziemer knows outboards. Did you pull that out of a scrap book? Is your Grand Sport the same or similar to a model 2003?

thanks zeimer !

Unfortunately, I know just enough to get me in trouble. :D Got the pic from S & F. Just trying to help a buddy out. ;)

Yes, my Grand Sport is an XS2003. They make an XB2003 which is basically the same hull, but with a bass boat deck.

In the 90's there was a black rabco w/triple 200 on the chain of lakes in Illinois.

was it a closed deck ?

yes it might have been that boat.

still trying to find this beautiful race boat , i know the boat went out west to seattle in the early 80s , any help from out fellow members , would be great , im about ready to throw in the towell , but im gonna give it one last shot .

still no luck

to the top, hoping for the best

My Dad George Johnson bought it (beautiful boat from what I remember as a child and pictures) in 1980 and raced it on the west coast, sold it and bought a Triton 308 and then bought and drove Unlimited Hydroplanes. I realize this an old post, but will ask him where it went after him and post. I really appreciate getting to know the history of Blackmax, thank you.
