In the late 80's, early 90's I spent a lot of time at havasu springs. A good friend of mine (now deceased) had one of these. It looked exactly like this one.. Could very well be it. It was actually a very cool boat. Deck boats back then were pretty ugly, and thes filled the bill but looked a little better.Quote:

I guess a bad excuse is better than none, Saying it was the 80s is a about as bad as it gets. I don't remember too many other builders pushing those out the door. Says something about his clientele if they were buying them. Bad enough they were wackers. By I have a feeling the owners were wacking something other than their OBs, and maybe not their own. Thankfully, NOBODY kept them "original" like the Eliminators Grads posted, or other 60s and 70s classic V drives. I could only take one decade of looking at those things.Quote:

Not only true, but the first Eliminators posted are pretty cool, and that's exactly what some people are looking for. I could own the whaler. Of course it would need a blown 632 in it. But I still dig Nordic Whalers, and I know somebody building a 21 ft Rayson center steer Whaler new.Quote:
