Four of a kind (4 of a kind)

Anyone remember the boat “4 of a kind” out of upstate ny? Sank at harbor fest about 20 years back. Had 4 1000 hours motors attached to two surface drives. Was an unreal boat and I’m just trying to find some old pics of it.

anybody happen to have any pics?

I couldn’t imagine trying to keep 4 engines running well, it’s hard enough just keeping 2 running well.

To own a boat like that you have to be i love with it , It had an old custom fuel injection set up in it and he had a lot of problems keeping it running good so he scraped it and went with 8 custom carbs

I saw it at the 1000 Island Poker Run last year. It was about 2 docks down from me. Pretty impressive piece of machinery. I'll look to see if I have a pic or 2.

Thanks for the pics, the nostalgia factor from this boat is quite high, it was docked at the bay I live on and seeing it as a kid would make my day in the 90s. Can’t believe it’s back? Can’t wait to find it

OK, why do people insist on standing on headers, flame arrestors, etc.?! OK, OCD rant off!

I remember this boat from back in the day. Cool boat. Setup like Recycler (Skater) was with the drop boxes. Although Recycler may have had IMCO drop boxes inside the transom feeding two Arnesons. Can't remember for sure.
