The best of both worlds? My new flattbottom?

[roostwear]

Or maybe the worst of both worlds, but either way, a flatbottom jet will be cool. 1966 Stevens, FE motor and Berk. Don't look for it to get out of it's own way any time soon.

Does that boat have 3 on the tree ??? What is that thing on the helm ???

What is that thing on the helm ???
My guess would be a redneck ski tow made from an old bow saw. What do I win if I'm right? Opps... I was looking at the engine. That thing on the steering hub is obviously a collum mount diverter handle
Cool boat by the way, don't think I've ever seen one that wasn't a V-drive, at least not in person anyway.

It's the ST control.
We did them like that on the first handful of Advantage jet partycats too back in the late 80's.
pretty cool find Mike. I haven't come across that article on the first Stevens jet, but on the other hand you never said if you wanted it or not.

I didn't get back with you cuz I didn't want to waste your time if it didn't happen. Still isn't a done deal, but it's close. Actually, I double checked and it's 1969, so it's a whole 3 years newer! Now if I can just swap the motor from the Mustang, it may just move! This one will be the "show" boat since it won't be used as much as the Advantage. Being on the trailer must come from it's flatbottom v-drive roots.
