[HM]

you are such a tease. I just got my spectra back from the upholstery shop. :D
The big question is where can I store my 45/410?

The way I here is that they only made five of these to be used exclusivly for offshore racing.There have been rumors of one converted to a pleasure craft by a drug runner back in the day.Of course it will take a mountain of a motor to push this badboy into the 70's',but I've heard it could be done.
Contact Smokey Unick in the Old Timers section of the forum,I bet he's got some old KB Hemi parts layin around.
This is right up your Alley.

[pw_Tony]

That's a sweet boat! It's even uglier than the Spectra, but still a way cool boat ;)

[HM]

Let's get a ski team together. I'll drive and BrianB can hurt himsel....I mean ski. RiverKid will be the ballast in the nose to get it to roll.

[boatsnblondes]

Schiada did one also....

[Classic Daycruiser]

That outdrive is way cool.

That prop looks like a military grade weapon. Ouch. Could we use that to cut a hole in Saddleback mountain so we can get to OC quicker?

[HM]

I just spent 4 days at Mohave with my dad's sleekcraft. My kids had enough trouble dealing with the volvo duo prop! Geno's blood pressure went up a couple notches screaming at my 4 and 2 year olds to jump away from the outdrive. :eek: :D

[Riverkid]

Who could build you one of these... :D

Problem Solved... ;)

[HM]

Wow...that is um...pretty?
BTW - the Bman don't need to get into shape. All we need to do is hide his cell phones from him and he will have so much adrenaline from anxiety that he could run on the water to Catalina and back. :D

I couldn't tell you honestly, I would guess pretty damn good though! :D I had it saved on my computer. A friend of mine saw it on Ebay awhile back & sent the pics & ad to me just cause it was different/cool.....
This is the description from the Ebay listing:

Vehicle Description
If you like really fast toys, then check out this Youngblood Pickle Fork/ Tunnel Hull speed boat. This is a 1979 boat that has been really cared for. It is very unique. The engine is a very potent 498inch Big Block Chevy engine. It also has a Arneson surface drive. The original owner spent A LOT of money perfecting this combination. The hull was redesigned by Mr. Arneson himself. The hull was then modified to his specifications. It will handle speeds of over 120 mph and still be very smooth and stable.
The current powerplant is a new engine that has 10.5 :1 compression. It has a radical hydraulic roller cam. The heads are oval port closed chambers (original 427). It sounds awesome! This engine produces about 700 hp without nitrous and with super unleaded gas! It has a billet MSD distributor, MSD ignition box, Holley electric fuel pump, and a hi torque mini starter. It has power steering, and a new external water pump. The carbs are 750 double pumpers that work perfect. I have personally been 85 + mph with this combination. (The speed was still climbing after the speedometer quit working after 85). I have driven super gas door cars, 7 second dragsters, and very fast street cars, but there is nothing like a really fast boat. The sensation of speed on the water is incredible and hard to describe.
This boat also has a "shorty" Powerglide transmission. It is built with all good parts including a billet aluminum shorty tail housing. Not only does it give you 2 gears for incredible acceleration, it also is a dream when it comes to idling around the boat dock and loading is a breeze.
The Gel Coat on this boat is original! It is not a repaint that will chip away with use. Wax it up now and then, and it will last for years to come. Look at the reflections in the pictures! It has never been crashed or sunk. The engine was mounted with front and rear engine plates just like a dragster.
The Surface Drive unit is very expensive and practically indestructible. The propeller is stainless steel and in great shape. These units are used a lot in offshore racing applications. Don’t be afraid to put a really powerful engine in this boat! It used to have a twin turbo setup and went 118 mph with that combination. Talk about a fast lake boat!
The trailer was custom made for this boat. It has surge brakes, buddy bearings, new tires and wheels, and is very easy to load.
Although this boat looks like brand new in the pictures, it is not perfect. It shows extremely well and gets major attention on the lake or on the trailer. When you pull up to the boat ramp with this thing, you will gather a crowd in no time. The boat looks awesome, and everyone freaks out on the Arneson drive.

Cool.

I'll start "Running" with your Mrs?
I'm ready to go,just give me time to find my trucker hat with the ponytail attachment from the 80s

Just get rid of your blood relatives and you will be just as f'd up as us "normal" people. Bob and I will treat you like a brother that we actually respected. :devil:
