I made all the machined hardware for that thing less the Dana trim plates. I've been looking for pictures of it and a few others I did way back then and I can't find shit. I know it was in Hot Boat but I'm not sure when. Do you think you could find that thing? Thanks.

Oh, and sorry this has nothing to do with old school boating.

Maybe he became interested after doing all those radio ads...? The stadium races were a big deal back then (as you know). :)


Hey Graeff, good stuff! I've loved the thunderboats since I was little and still enjoy (a little less) the new UH's. Any true fan of bat racing bought the Madison movie shortly after it became available. :cool

Pretty cool video on the Miss America VIII
Same boat as the twin engine post above, except when it was fitted with Miller V16s for the world speed record
