I realize it's hard without seeing her, but I need some opinions on the value of an early '70s shovelnose hydro I'm looking at. It was completely restored about five years ago. Paint is beautiful. Blown early Chrysler Hemi with Hilborn injection and a Casale. Every aluminum part on the boat is polished. Upholstery is in great shape, too. Custom-built trailer and cover included. A spare block and some other engine parts would come with her. The owner says she runs 125 in the 1/4 mile and after looking at the boat, I don't doubt it. Thanks for any opinions!
