It has to be seen to be believed.
If you don't know this boat's history, it is quite possibly the most famous drag boat ever, driven by one of the most talented men to ever drive a fuel flat bottom.

There are things in that boat that the average person would never notice and Dave refused to let them slide. Everything from the steering wheel, fuel lines, fuel tank, even bolts, the smallest things had him driven to perfection. He has done a few restos of boats and dragsters, but this thing went over the top with him. It took its toll on him as well. I don't think there is another project he was so glad to see done and gone.
I have CRS. Met the owner twice now and j can't remember his name. Anyway, not getting it wet this weekend but he did say he would fire it up tomorrow. Beautiful boat for sure, and he's very proud of it. Who wouldn't be :DQuote:
