First off, howdy all!!!
Second, I've been on a search for a long lost 67-68 S Class Stevens Flatbottom that left my family in the early 80's. It was sold to the Reno, NV area.
When it left us, it had a matchbooked Monkey Pod wood deck, white sides/transom with red metal flake inserts in the side. Boat name was "Exciter" in gold foil on the rear sides. It had a 390 Caddy, Nicson wet headers and Casale V-Drive in it.
Last heard the jack-ass that bought it left water in the block, it froze and cracked, then it was lost to a marina for storage fees. This was not toooo long after it was bought.
I know this is a shot in the dark... but what the heck. Stranger things have come up on the internet.
If you know of a similar boat... let me know. I'll dig up some pics of the boat from back in the day. My dad used to drag race it in the late 60's - early 70's around California.
Thanks in advance.

It was a STUNNING boat. Pretty fast for its day. SK class racer. 415 Caddy pushed it to about 65 in the 1/4.

Beautiful Stevens... I hope you find it. Can't help with that, but here's a pick of my Stevens flatbottom jet. Seeing a Stevens is a rarity nowadays.

Didn't have any bites on it, and I don't have to get rid of it, so I just stored it with the Advantage. I guess the market for old, odd boats hasn't come around yet
