You'll need more than a couple Grovers to buy one. Originally Posted by Hotboat

wheeler, long story short, but I bought one at the Pomona swap meet about 15 years ago for 125.00. A guy was haggling to get it him down to 100.00, and while the guys talking I walked up and handed the guy his 125 asking and took the scoop. Originally Posted by Wheeler

Last one I saw on E bay sold for 1400.00.
That one does include the dual quad H&M manifold as well.
Anything else on the boat H&M? Pan, valve covers, timing cover?Last edited by gn7; 10-21-2013 at 04:21 PM.

Great story Bob, I bet the guy is still pissed off that he missed the scoop! Originally Posted by gn7

I keep threatening to piece the boat out as there is much more money to be made but I would rather find someone who grew up skiing with this particular model boat and can appreciate it for what it is.
I just got the carbs back this weekend from an overhaul. I just might get it ready for the water next week.
