New boat, new member!

Hello All!

Two days ago I purchased a 1973 Classic 18, big block, Berkeley jet drive (rare factory install). Today I registered on this forum. It's shaping up to be a great week.

I can't wait to dig around this forum! Pics coming soon. -Brose

You guys got it right...

It's the black and white boat for sale briefly last fall that I purchased. I looked at it last year, timing wasn't right. He sold the boat back to the previous owner who put it up for sale this spring.

I regretted not buying the boat the first time around and wasn't going to let the opportunity pass me by a second time.

Thanks to all for making me feel welcome. Next up are some go fast(er) parts. Already runs about 60mph -- should be able to acheive 63-66 mph by the end of next week!

Hey, you learn something new every day!

Looks like I'm the proud owner of an X-18 not a Classic like I originally thought.
