Wow! That has to be about the only one in existence. Check out what might be the predecessor to modern trim indicators on the dash. Bill

I'm mighty proud of my Stoker 20.4 SST MVP, but how could I compete with this! You could easily spend $300,000 on a boat these days and not get any attention in comparison to this looker & doer for that matter. :yes:

> Yeah, these were the coolest of cool
metal flake boats back then.
The Maltese Magnum "Missile" Tunnel
outboard amde an even bigger splash.
I had that same motor on a 14ft
"Jetflite" Glastron, and it did 63+
Bet thin' 'll do 70-75.
The Missile was supposed to be
even fast, and they advertised it
as capable of handling a full
turn at top speed.

Thanks Scott! What you don't see is McConnell and Posey lapping the field in the OMC Rotaries... it was 1973, and one of the first times anyone had ever seen the Wankels.

Dad did not finish the race... he was leading the SJ class, when Jimbo passed him in a corner, filled the cockpit with water and shorted the kill switch...
