Very cool!! :)    I'm surprised to see that there's no cav plates on it?

I'm a little skeptical on the 100+ MPH dealio, but a very cool boat indeed. :)

Who knows about the speed  ;)  Just going by what Jim remembers from 40-45 years ago  :D  He didn't even recall what motor he had at the time he ran Long Beach  :stupid

I love the old nostalgic boats.  I just got a 62' Spico V-Drive that was out rotting in the pasture.  Pictures are over on HB and its my new resto' project.  (Like I need another project) but the boat has the old wood deck on it and was beautiful in its heyday.  Apparently there was a Spico that ran in the 140's back then and was 1st in its class for quite a while.  Pretty impressive for back then.  I plan on fixing this one up - and giving the Bahner to my daughter on her 18th.  So....mums the word for those of you that know her.......:)

Pulling the motor this weekend and all the hardware off it and basically stripping it down getting it ready for its new life. :)  I'll post pics as I go.
