(pics) Wild V-Drives

Another pic that's been around. Very cool if you like fast NA flats...


Before I'd ever had a ride in a flatbottom, this was our ski boat. 19' Eliminator Sprint. This was usually built as a jet, but I guess they did 1 v-drive. Was slow, handled like crap but a great ski boat. We skied almost every weekend with it for a couple years. Then I got a ride in a Hondo true flat, 30 MPH faster for the same HP and I was hooked, Couldn't sell this boat fast enough and bought the Kurtis above. Went to a race to spectate in 1982 and was ruined for life
