I was able to see it from the link given. It did say it was apart and had to be put together. I have a picture of Bowes boat with the tall narrow scoops at the beach withome hydrostreams. Holy old picture. I thought his boat was at Aldos. Old and Wrecked. He had one just like it that he thought of stretching to make a mold for a streched 30/34 staggered big blocks. Sounded promising. Dont know if its still there.

It was in bad shape when I bought it in Fla. It didn't have a windshield. There was a fiberglass cover that moved the controls right in front of the back seat. And there was a 40 gal fuel tank glassed in where the back seat should be. It had a raised eng hatch with two tall skinny scoops. The small blocks and the trs drives were missing when I bought. I was looking for a project when I saw it. It took me 3 yrs to get her back in the water. Thanks old pics would be great. Bobby

Chances are you have Mike Bowe's old boat. Same stripes. And his also had the dash extension on the deck.

Some history and stories about Mike and the boat with pics would be cool. Another thing about boat someone had penciled SUPERDOSE on the side of boat. Like they were going to paint it on the sides. The top of transom had two cuts out in middle. My guess was it had headers over the transom. Thanks

Try contacting Jeff from Freeze Frame. He might look up some old pictures of Mike's Boat. Can't guarantee it though. I used to have a bunch. But years back when I got divorced. The X chucked my box of all the race pictures I had.

Those drives look like they're too far apart, but of course that's only because the boat is so narrow. That thing must do 90+ if those are really 480 hp engines.
