Pretty boat. If you dont mind me asking, do you know where in Tampa they ran in 67 ?? My dad knew Bernie back in those days and always claimed he got a ride in the Bud boat. If memory serves, he had a place here on Davis Islands in the downtown Tampa area. Sorry to sidetrack your sale. Just wondering if that would have been the same boat??

The boat they ran to replace this one in 1967 had two seats. The one they ran in 1965 had four seats so most likely it was one of those two boats.

Well we never really had time to trim it out. It is very fast and light so it also went very high!

The boat is really skinny, as are all old round nose boats from that era. I think I am just better suited to my nice wide T-3. Heavy, but very stable. I am too old for boats that react as quickly as this one.

I agree, you are too old.

Do you have some printers lined up to start the season with? I've only called about 10 times, lol.
