This is the OFFICIAL Mc Donald's spokes boat. Just kidding. Actually this is a boats I purchased off a guy at a dealership I work with. Funny Thing my manager bought it from the dealership and I bout it from him the same day for a whopping 1,500.00 I didn't look so nice as it does now. I don't think they guy ever knew what WAX was. I thought it was a good deal and have enjoyed it for many years. It has some added goodies on it to depth gauge Offenhauser air scoop and a ton of detailing.
This is a front view of it. It is sitting on a rare roadrunner trailer. This trailer is not designed for drive on purposes. Actually you have to get out of the boat and walk it on the trailer to seat it correctly.
This picture shows you an over all shot of it sitting on its trailer by my shop.
And Sitting in this 18' beast is a serious find. That is a 468 cu inch Chevrolet marine motor. One serious cam in it and can you say LOUD. Put a dB meter by it and it went off the 150db scale. This engine is running just shy of 800 hp. sitting atop it is dual customized Holley 750 double pumpers and a VERY rare Edelbrock fully chromed dual tunnel ram. I added accel ignition and wires. Also some cool nylabraid. and did and oil change on it. Um can you say 12 quart oil pan. Well come to find out when I had it at my engine builders friends house . The engine is worth over 8000.00. I had him go through it to make sure it was in good shape and he couldn't stop crowing about the engine and what a buy I got. This girl will do 80 on the water

The little Savage 21 was a project I started in Nov of 2002 and finished in January 2003. It was something to keep my mind from freaking out while my wife was experiencing colon cancer and treatment. It is aluminum everything. Top speed over 50 with force .25 and tuned pipe running on 30%. I was very lucky to have it grace the pages of a bunch of r/c magazines and manufacturers. This hobby is very satisfying and has a great payback when you kick everyone's but at the tracks. It is quite addicting though and is a very accomplished rock crawler to. It is nearly identical to my blazer.
