1957 Performer

[QuickCheetah]

I know its not a jet but it looks like a 57 Chevy car, has the fins and all. Does anyone know anything about these boats?

Thanks Cas, I have a chance to pick one up for a few hundred..too bad its not big enough for a jet and a BBC

I'd really like to see a picture of it. Those old classics are great boats and for a few hundred now, a couple of thou for restoration, you might even make some money on it.......unlike a jet boat

Ill put some up tomorrow...

They are beautiful and as fun to drive as my old 1959 Cadillac. Granted my 59 does not perform or drive as nice as a new cadillac, but it's fun on a different level. A newer Cadillac will be noticed by some, but my 59 stops traffic. Buy that classic if you can see yourself taking it out and getting that kind of attention, some good and some bad.
I see the market going up on this classic glass....soon.
There is a website called fiberglassics (http://www.fiberglassics.com/) Check it out

no it doesnt have the top, i wonder if they can still be found, but it does have the fins in the back, i picked up one about 6 months ago also for $150 off Craigslist but it was and still is a basketcase. this other one the father and son have at least started to restore it and arent asking a killing for it. im trying to get pics loaded on photobucket to upload here...

not big enough for a BBC, but a jet...yep.
There's a guy on fiberglassics that has a Glass Magic and has done a coversion using a sea doo, or some similar combo, engine and jet into his boat. It's very cool. I hang out over on that site too and am always looking for something that catches my eye, this deal did. I like the lines of the hull and the pump set-up is a great idea and super easy to do too. Be real nice with a later 4 stroke engine out of a PWC.
here's a few shots...
I didn't know anyone over here on HB liked this old crap too, 'cept for Cas. lol He's old and I've found out over the last few years has almost the same taste, or lack of, as I have.
