Loving old boats is a curse.

I 2nd that motion

The old stuff has character and i love the old school lines

When you get done with it it will probably be a 10.5.
When I sold Ed the boat it had two brand new L82 Chevy 350s with 3 races on them, what happened to those engines ?
When you say you paid 15.5 divided in half what do you mean, you paid $7,750 for the boat and trailer ?

Thats a great boat with the best of both worlds Race and pleasure cockpit.

runs good numbers and has a great history.

cant beat that package.
What was the number that would buy that boat?
I am just curious not buying unless I sell mine.'
Have had a bit of interest in mine lately though so you never know.

what hp where the L82s i know eddie had kurt build 425 bandits with iron heads. e mailed the showroom site
trrailer was ok but not great, drives where real bad wiring real bad boat needed lots of stuff and bottom needed attention
Ritchie didnt core them right and lots of bottoms had issues so that was taken care of...lots of hrs on the bottom making it perfect. what was the deal with the old exhaust holes seemed like when the boat was rigged had hole above the rub rail then when you got it the holes got lowered??

The L-82s were probably about 325 hp. New long blocks from Chev a little worked before we put them in.
The boat was in mint shape when I sold it to Ed. Probably had about 90 total hrs on the hull.
Exhaust was below the rub rail when I bought it from Teddy who's family owned the Bay Bridge Inn on Rt 37 & the bay. He put the boat togeather when it was new & raced it in Sport Class under the name" Nick The Greek "

maybe ritche had them cut then patched them. Eddy always kept his stuff clean. Even the 41. It would be interesting to find out who rigged it for Teddy? i have lots of pictures of everything.

Here you go Len. This boat looks truly entertaining. A 28' Pantera 3 man bolster with triple outboards.

wow 2.4's goin old school.

Thats got to be a fun ride.

Bumping an old thread. So, does Great Adventure have small-blocks? If so, how many HP and how fast is it? Big blocks are a tight fit in the 30' OPs. How much power would you need to get one to run 80+ with TRS drives? Would you pick up much speed with a Bravo conversion?
Thanks! :drink:
