I saw that on E-Bay and thought it was one of the Ugliest boats I had ever seen. However after seeing the old picture it is pretty cool. :D

Hey guys, thanks for the help on Hydro Phobia. I talked to Chuck Taylor yesterday for a while about the boat and some of the fuel hydros in the late sixties. He brought up names like Mr. Ed, Hot Tuna, Climax and people like Jack Davidson. The man is a full of history. He really brings those old black and white photos to life. Chuck's got plenty of good 392 cores to work with, but it will go back together running gas not alcohol. I'd like to run it around here just as a cool old nostalgic hot rod. I've never driven a hydro, I'm sure it has a strange feel to it at first.
