Thanks for all the responses guys!! I contacted Muscle Racing to see if they had any pictures to send me and they replied that the boat raced from 1996 to 2003 and a search of Powerboat magazine archives or Poker Run's America Magazine archives would yield some photo's.... much to my disappointment there were no photo's found on either site.

I was also unable to track down anything through the search on this site using all combinations of search terms such as Muscle, Muscle Racing, The Muscle, X Muscle, Diamond Dave Branch..... all searches brought up several pages of results but no pictures were readily available or found.

I also googled the same combinations with no results.... I am surprised that it is this hard to locate pictures of such a popular boat and race team.... hopefully something will turn up!

The boat was originally the love muscle and diamond daves first race boat. The graphic was done at the factory and I may have an archive photo. I will do some digging, If not check with ed, or dan. Weinstein was good about photographing every boat we built! the boat was sweet and drew loads of attention at the first race. The girl was topless..and a.p.b.a. made them put on a bikini topBosco

I think its the B-1 boat near the bottom of this page: http://www.muscleracing.com/toys.htm

The boat you are looking for was at Guardado Marine when we were working on Still Crazy. I'm sure Eddie Guardado or Chris Dilling have pictures of the boat. You can call them to find out...Eddie at 305-688-4532 or Chris at 386-547-1856. The boat had a new owner and he was modifying the deck paint so that it would be somewhat usable in the Florida sun. Chris designed a white overlay "X" that would still show the girl on the top, but allow people to walk on deck without burning their feet.

Good luck on your search.

Jordan - Thank you for the great lead!!! Eddie @ Guardado Marine was a great help and quickly sent me the pictures I was looking for!!! I guess the new owners have changed the boat completely, color scheme and the image of the girl is changed and the boat is still there at Guardado Marine.....
