Reply With QuoteBear, do you have any pictures available? is it on dragboats.com?
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.
Here's the pic Bear was referring to.......
