Has anyone ever read Muscle Boats by Henry Rasmussen. I just bought it. It is a fantastic coffee table book with great color pics of most of Don's creations (circa 1988). Some good stories about N.E.188th street in the 80's too.

I bought it last year online for $30, and then two weeks later found another copy in a used bookstore for $5. I sold that one on Ebay...

It's a great book. The Donzi Z33 on the cover is my boat's Big Brother (or is that Sister?)....

One thought about that era. The HP and performance seemed a little less radical than what we have today. Even the big Cig's had things like 420's in them, running in the low to mid 60's - now anything less than 600 horsepower and 80MPH is a big dissapointment. Why did we get in such a hurry.....
