View Full Version : Happy Holidays w/vintage powerboat pics
Happy holidays everyone. While everyone is thinking of days gone by over the holidays here are some general vintage speedboat pics from the late 60's early 1970's.. Enjoy & Happy Holidays.. Jamie :)
Scary part is that I currently own two of the boats pictured...
Thanks for the blast from the past :) :)
Poodle, what ya got?? I myself used to own a tunnel like that in the pic. A 1971 17' Magnum hull #17. It had a 150 Merc ss Seebold on it. I was going to restore it & run it. I bought it 2 days before I got married & within 2 months she forced me to sell it! :0 She said if I re did it & ran it she would run.. LOL I dont know whats more dangerous, the women or the boats?? In her defense the beck had a hole in if from when it flipped during a race & the former owner had a heart attack & went through the deck when it blew back. It sat since the early 1980's because he never had the nerve to run her again. It would have been a neat resto though..
Happy holidays.. Jamie
A Missile, and a GW Invader... They are on the end of my project list tho....
The red invader was my dad's. I would like to latch on to one someday in the future as a novelty..

I think it was electric start & I think it was a 35hp. I will find out tonight. I will ask my dad what it was for sure. As I will be at my parents place for Xmas eve dinner.. Jamie :)
I asked what it was last night. It was a 40hp Merc electric start. He tried a 50 once but it was too much engine for the boat.
