    When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
    When the waves are high and the light is dying,
    well raise a glass and think of me...
    When I'm home again,
    boys, I'll be buying!

    Very nice looking and apparently well maintained boat. Is the owner a member of this forum? Anybody seen it before?

    If you have problems seeing the pics load it up in IE. The listing has some errors and isn't Chrome friendly.

    by the looks of it it is a one owner boat and I don't think the owner is an active member here. the red critters are very uncommon I don't recall ever seeing that one.

    Very nice example.

    It hurts to look at that trailer w/ rollers instead of bunks IMO.

    Can't imagine it will sell, although I know all the reasons why it could.......

    Scott~

    I'm sure you have that sort of normally asperated horsepower in a musclecar.

    But pushng a carb fueled normally asperated 454 to that sort of horsepower in a marine application, with a usable marine cam and not having exhaust cooling water reversion problem issues is pushing it a bit high don't you think ?
