bungees help take alot of stress off of the mid sections from bouncing around.

You're not serious with that question are you?

If that's an old race boat they seem to have done a GREAT job.

I was thinking what price "would I have to buy that at to be a steal?"

Anyone know the year of this boat?

The hull is a late 95 the deck is a little newer from when they put a canopied deck on it. It's the old havoline boat that won some races. I drove it to wins in West Palm and Miami. It looks really nice but I know the hull is tired. It's weird to see it white as it was black and yellow.

Unhappy Re: Key West SS outboards

Ryan, Thanks for the heads up on Havoline. It looks like a nice conversion, wonder who did it ? So much for budget racing with that boat. I'll keep up the grind... Micheal...

There were 4 Outboard boats built I think, The first on that is for sale with the OMCs, the open cocpit triple Merc Nina Ross, and the full race High Rish Flowmaster wich had a pod but later cut it out. There was also the border line but it was converted to I/O. Also there was the early boat Talon Comp 37/ Slick 50 that went overseas I believe. Call talon and talk to Gary he can fill you in 941-355-0710
