Actually Jerry, I think that's a saved pic from one of your posts on HB.
There was a boat at Johnnie Witsett's shop that was a dead ringer for that boat on the cover. I always wondered it was the same boat.

What made the old enduros like the Parker 9hr, Elsinore 500, and Salton Sea 500 so cool. One of the most successful inboards and the outboards side by side.
