I just sold a 73 howard shovelnose hydro w/new prof, painted hull /v-drive and new int, for $3000 to a guy out here! and he dropped a built BBC in it and he loves it, handles great,has inboard steering, have;nt seen another one before this one,(Howard that is). inboard steering is great for lake use ,outboard steering is safer if you have major hsp. :jawdrop:
