Who's looking for a project? Found this roaming around the internet

Yes it is the old MAD MOTHER & also CHEAP THRILLS & LA Express . It was a TRS boat but now set up for Alpha drives.

LA Express
 

A friend of mind is looking at it as a rebuild. Did it originally have SB or BB ??? Bud

I know the owner is on these forums. Just hope he wasn't talking about my Scarab interior! :eekdrop:

Bud she had small blocks. When we raced APBA P class around 1980 this Mag was faster than my Mag as the Trs drives were raised into the rub rail. This was one of the fastest hulls in P class then till the Shadow cats came along & blew us all away.

Mark,
Had to go back into the archieves but here are a couple pic's

Andy nice pic's !! Remember when Mike H went the wrong way on the race course with the Mag @ the Cleveland race. :eek:

Ya, he took on a 38 pantera and made it out alive. I think you and Rich had to keep him from killing the owner of the other boat. Those were the days. This would be another nice project for you.

Mad Mother
 

Client passed on the Mad Mother LA Express etc....it's a shame was a great hull,would been nice to have it restored.Bud

The Mag is in the rack next to my boat, Mr. Vinyl plz find someone to restore this nice solid boat! :evilb:

Mad Mother Cleavland Sport
 

Came real close,however my friend decided to wait for a Starfire.I will keep it on file for some one who is interested in a total redo. Bud

Thanks Mr. Vinyl, like most would love to have the time and money....if the economy was like 5-7 yrs ago I'm sure this wouldn't be a discussion.:ernaehrung004:

We're interested in the boat, my number is 229-272-0810

Thanks,

No problem Sonny....I'll give him a call for ya!

is the boat still forsale if so hows the hull? and why did they switch to alpha ones from trs outdrive i know the alpha has a smaller profile but why haha

How fast was it?

Racing APBA P class back around 1981 IO Magnums were running about 72 mph, Mad Mother ran around 75 mph with it's high X dimension. The Trs drives were raised well into the rub rail.

I loved the sound with the old crusader exhaust and the megaphones. Wish I had the space to pick her up.

Wow! was that with bone stock 280's ?

Bone stock not really, 1981 APBA P class rules. Cast Iron four barrel intake, cast iron exhaust, any flat tappet cam, 9.5 compression, 355cu, & cast iron heads. True stock 280 trs Mag ran 61mph to 65mph like this speed chart shows from this 1976 APBA event.

Got ya....The Great Adventure 28 Cig ran 64 with bone stock 280's that day.

Yes she did, I was there. :ernaehrung004:
