Large Oval Heads. New Valves and Springs. Roller Rockers. 550 Lift Cam. Tunnel Ram. Paint is beautiful with a couple of flaws. Right side has gas stains running forward and a couple of chips. Interior is in real good shape. Casale V-Drive (I think 18 gears). Clever Prop.
The back of the transom is faded a little, but can be buffed out (just the black part, the paint looks good). It has a Competitive Trailer that looks good, with good tires. If interested P.M. me with your #.

Hey Pipe,
Was this boat for sale about 1 year ago but with a blower on it?
Pretty sure it was on Boattrader.com being sold by a broker?
I called on the ad but the broker was going or was out of business and no one knew who the boat's owner was. The whole thing just fizzled away on my.
Just curious. Be good, Jim

This boat is real clean. We ran it in the driveway yesterday and it sounds great, real responsive. This hydro was originally for sale in Florida with a blown 540 in it, I believe it sold for $12,500 originally. It was trucked to cali where the new owner pulled the blower motor out and installed this freshly built 0 hour 396, break in time only (by Tom Papp).
It will make a great river rod for someone.

Not originally. I think he moved the picture and didn't update the wording. It originally had a few pics of the boat with some discriptions.

There was an identical boat to this one in the boat store in Cordelia a few months ago. By identical, I mean right down to the blue coil...cool boat nonetheless!

Ya we took her out yesterday to Elsinore - water was cold but perfectly flat. The boat ran fan f$%kin tastic. Pipesclean made passes infront of cranes for about an hour - boat or motor never skipped a beat.
Can't wait for summer

The guy that call me to post the boat on my web site www.dragboatcity.com it was in Cal, that boat was never in Fla. because if it was I would have boat it ? but it cost so much to get them to Fla. now because of gas, I would buy a lot of your boat in cal if I could just get them to Fla, for a good prices, if any of you guys ever come to Fla and got a boat for sale email me, heavyd@dragboatcity.com I buy a lot of boats. if you guys ever want to post and add to sell your boat it only $ 40.00 until it sell there's no time limit ?

That boat belonged to Danny Martin from Vallejo Ca.He ran the boat at Clearlake Ca. I have been in the boat manny times Danny had the boat for 20 years or so.L J's speed shop in Napa built the 540 blower motor that was in the boat.That was a e ticket ride. The boat is a nice heavy lake boat and went nice and straight.I spent alot of summers with Danny and that boat.Danny passed on about 3 years ago, and his wife sold the boat.I never new where it ended up. :crossx:

Exactly what the guy at the boat store in Cordelia told me. I saw it Dec 30 last year, just looked at the receipt of the item I purchased from them.
Great looking boat!

nope, it was that other boat store that sells the wake board boats...can't remember the name of it. The salesman said that someone in the shop knew the owner, that's why it was there. The boat was also on their website but can't remember what that was either....old age thing happenin :p
