Sure..heres my old school truck pulling my old school boat....tons of mods on both

[LEEVON]

Yes there is interest...

DannyK that boat is HOT, do you take it out on Beaver?

I have a fascination with 70's jet boats and LSx engines with over-the-hull open exhaust. There are a few on LS1tech and a couple boat forums.

Thanks Leevon. Yeah, its my Beaver boat (haha). She's a Donzi Sweet 16, designed by Don Aronow of offshore racing fame. He's the guy who started Cigarette,Donzi,Formula,USA1 Racing etc. My truck is red also, I think they look cool together. BTW, I worked for Tahiti Skiboats in the late 70's, we built big block jet boats all day long (most had Bassett water injected over transom headers) until the fuel crunch, then we switched to 4.3 Chevys with OMC or Volvo outdrives. Right now I'm glad my Donzi has the 4.3, she'll cruise in the 50s without sucking too much gas. Its getting warm here and I'll be de-winterizing "Flight Risk" soon.

Here is a old fiberglass boat I got a while ago. These old boats are making a come back. So far I have on ly stored this boat but one day I may actually restore this thing.

YouTube - 1958 Glasspar Del Mar the day I...

Fiberglassics is the place to go for old boats. They specialize in fiberglass but have a ton of info on aluminum and wooden boats as well.

Thanks 502. Yeah, I dig your Tahiti ! Tha all-white with deck flames looks very cool too, much better than the typical metalflake we did on those !
