Poor old girl. Not even good yard art. Steve Hromcheck raced her in the 70's/80's. Used to sit on Harvard or Dennison ave in Cleveland.

I believe Hromcheck owned the business Cleveland Propeller as well as the race boat. Last I saw it was probably 15+ years ago diver Dan had it at his yard North of the big D.

It's a Formula. That same deck was used on the limited run of 30'-32' Magnums like Hustler IV and Boar Hog.
It was once owned by Don Holloway (Betty Cook's navigator)
and called Tangueray. Early '70s boat for sure. Bobby "Rebel" Sheer set me straight on that.

Someone besides me should snap that up and resto it to is former glory!
(Where's Ironhead?)
A proper resto, not a tennis shoe paint job and #6s with fluorescent Lavorsi gauges and a Cigarette decal on the side.

Wow it looks like it's not worth saving judging by the pics in the thread that Lee posted.

From back in the day, racing on the Great Lakes. I looked at this one in that same yard 15 years ago, it was ruff then. It could still be saved but the cost will be $$$$$$$$$.

This boat was also talked about back in 2006 here on OSO.
