That was my raceboat, it was built in 86 as the first ever canopied race boat.
I had Recaro race car seats (unheard of in a boat @ that time) mounted on big semi truck seat air pedestals, had 5 point harness, air supply, lexan w/s, etc etc. It had United racing engines small blocks w/ headers and #2 Merc speedmasters the boat would run mid to high 80's which was really flying for the M class @ the time.

The boats first race was a national race here in miami under APBA, after much discussion and debate @ the drivers meeting B4 the start of the race I was told NO-GO because APBA needed time to think about it and decide.

We sold the boat to Puerto Rico around 1990 and sucessfully winning a couple of championships there w/o the canopy.
That was when PR had big boat counts and plenty of big boats racing there.

I still have the original molds for the canopy and all related pcs needed.

put ac in the biotch and poker run the hell out of it!!!
