Boat is Sister to the 'Black Mamba' ... It's the old 'Gold Rush' boat (now called 'Dressed In Black') originally set up by Norm Grimes & Rick Shumacher (I believe). Has been running the 9 Sec. Class in the Kentucky Drag Boat Association, but, could run 8 Sec. Class with right motor and hardware setup. The hull is in good condition (490 +/- lbs.) and has a race keel under it (by its shape I'd say a Jeff Bennett keel), has had tunnel extenders installed to trap more air, JG Berkeley Pump w/shoe & rideplate and PopOff.
Center seat boat w/out motor (currently set up for BBC and has all plumbing, gas tank, etc.) and tandem axle trailer ..... $8,500.
Those interested ..... PM me and I'll respond with contact info. Note, boat is in North Central Illinois.

The only picture I currently have available is the center picture of the third row on the page whose link is:

Boat # 098
Looking at the picture, I'd forgotten it has snaps around the cockpit for a travel cover. I do have some video of the boat, including closeups in the pits, from when I last saw it at Quincy ... I'll look for the video and extract some shots in the not too distant future.
