Met AZtommy and buddy WildBill the flattie driver up at the lake today. Tommy's 21' Centurion ran a gps'd 71 mph today. Not sure what's in the motor, single vac sec carb, the old Edelbrock sideways single plane manifold, and the pump is an old model Berk which gets discussed on this thread Tommy's ride (http://www.***boat.com/forums/showth...threadid=39190)
Can't believe he got a 21 foot, 70 mph boat in this kinda shape for $3500. Well not in this kinda shape. He wetsanded and buffed the gel and painted the trailer, spent a G on new seats, floor, carpeting etc. Don't want to make it sound like he didn't do any work on the thing.
Here's a couple photos. Water was perfect with just a wind ripple and hardly anybody there. You could run all out as long as you cared (dared) to.
