I have a lot of fun with this little tunnel .

Now that is a cool ride. Must be a ball to drive
Whats hard to describe is just how much fun it really is. Grown men giggle like teenage chicks when they drive it, and it scares the panties off chicks with a spectacular mid range to top end rip..Quote:

Handling is mind boggling - its got an ITS steering system and fully hydraulic steering in it- which is beyond overkill, but the boat will pull your head off in a turn. Same steering system on the 2750 at 5300LB.
the ole gal has a a few nicks and wrinkles (kinda like me) and just like after you get married the newer sleeker models come out of the woodwork - she may be a bit old but she pleases where it counts.

Maybe a Lavey regatta is in order this year to celebrate the heritage?
Just called Chris and he sure sounded good and excited. Got some new boat builds all ready to get started on and got the new shop all up and running. Little smaller then previous shop holds about 10 boats. He also said that they are doing some off road type stuff to as a side venture from the shop. Looks like the 39 sold for 200K or is pending sale at that price. Said he sold the old shop in one day for great price and his brother Jeff who has been in the business for 40 years finally retired. I first got interested in Laveys around 1991 at the boat show. They were being made at the shop in the city of Industry and the Camire brothers almost had me sold on a 21 Mod Vp with an outboard at the show but I just didn't want to go outboard. I ended up with a 21 Eliminator Daytona the following year but I always liked the quality of Laveycraft and the guys that owned and worked there. Sounds like Chris is getting off to a good start with the next phase of the Lavey lineage. Wish him and the crew best of luck.
Awesome, good news, and thank you for sharing.Quote:

If you checkout Laveys new website one of the opening pictures that rotates on the home page is of Al Lavey and his gang all wearing Pico boatshop-t shirts. I helped the crew there gather up and get these old photos digitized.
I wonder who the kid was and where he is today, that must have been a hell of a lotta fun.
