My mother shipped me off to military school.....

If anyone has any old Superboat photographs they would like us to put up on our web site, please e-mail them to me. We are in the process of setting up a "Nostalgia" page.

Hey John,
What were the specs. on that baby?
Power? Weight? Speeds? How did she handle the rough?
Great Shot...

Hey JC,
I found a shot of a boat I built back in high school.
Didn't become a builder of world class race boats though.
Pic. is from 1985...
Anyone else got a shot of a home-made?
