The really "Old School" boating thread

[Sharp shooter]

Hey Bob, back in the early 90's I discovered a marathon boat in an Upland Alley. It was behind a fence and the boat was mostly covered, but my buddy and I could see Mickey Thompson's name on the wind deflector. We knocked on the door and an elderly lady answered but she wanted nothing to do with our inquiries. How cool would that be to restore if it ever turns up again....?

Not sure how many boats he built thru the years. But if it was a Nike hydro, or his dual Pontiac Mandella, that would be really cool!!!!
I know he had a single Pontiac engine Mandella as well. But anything you could document as his would be great to find!!
