I was down in FL earlier this month visiting CDMA and this came strolling by.

Way cool boat, no seats, just stand up and go. This thing was perfect and sounded mean with an Innovation sticker on the side means it can run too. The other sticker says '65 World Champion, not sure if that is the actual boat, but man is sure looks like could have been. I thought I would share.

Good memory....
I thought I recognised the boat and remembered reading the story.

Beautiful boat, BUT, I'd swear that was Madpoodle on the passenger side in the white shirt, green hat. That's a trademark pose.

Seriously...

When Dave Stiff worked at CMI he helped me with my exhaust on the Corsican. He is a really good guy and went overboard to help me out. Also funny is Garry Grimes in Georgia do a lot of old engine restorations. Some stuff is really hard to find. Last year he did a 429 boss Mustang. The car left here looking beautiful.

I'd bet that Lamar Walden came into play looking for 409 parts.... I just happen to have a 348/409 tripower intake, heads, and complete carb set sitting here on the shelf...
