I'll go with the Schiada.

1979 20' Schiada V-drive

M&D Performance 555CI Blown BBC

I picked the boat up 4 years ago. Ran it solid for 1 year and de-rigged the entire boat. I made 90% of the new rigging and Tony Costantino completely rebuilt the entire bad ass motor.

Hot boat of the month October

1978 DiMarco T-deck 5/8 runner bottom


I purchased this boat about four years ago when I was looking for a retirement project boat.
Owner hurt his back and had to let the boat go. Saved me a lot of work and money.

I only made a few changes to the boat, re-wired the electrical system and replaced all fuel and
water lines. Painted trailer, converted worn pull out tongue to swing type.

1978 eliminator sport cruiser( the griswold)

The most famous town boat this side of the Mississippi.

460 ford, nothing special. Berkeley jet, droop diverter, runs a solid 55 all day every day and twice on sundays. Complete JL audio system( thanks OD1)

Not going to win on motor and speed, but everyone knows this boat, knows its history and knows its just plain sexy.

The boat was a total project, the previous owner stopped caring for the boat and left it outside uncovered and weathering away. It was bought as a trailer, hull, and a pump that needed to be rebuilt. This is my second year with the boat and we're still making progress. I didn't want this beautiful boat to become trash so I'm building it back up one step at a time.

I'm trying. One would think out of all of the people here who know me and know the griz, I would have more votes.

I tried voting again but the site would not let me. I started a couple new accounts then found out that I needed 25 posts, I even went as far as hacking some friends accounts but they were also short on posts.

Sorry Tyro, I tried. :action-smiley-069:

It's all good wheeler. The chances are slim of the griz wining at this point. Guess I just don't have pull around these parts.
