Integrity you said? Looks sweet.

[m39976]

Yes Integrity trailer in Nunica. It's the first aluminum boat trailer they built.

And your cat too?????

The cat should be done! Well...it's never done...but it should be done enough for me to be willing to have it seen in public this weekend...lol. I talked to Jeff this morning. I'm going to take it up there Friday or possibly Saturday morning. I'm not ready to leave it up there for the Summer yet so I'm just going to get a slip for the weekend and bring it back home on Sunday or Monday to finish up a few things. You heading up to Muskegon at all this weekend?

I wish that pic was a higher resolution. Would make an awesome desktop background!!!
I think the F1-71 is my favorite boat that you guys ever built. Adam is a lucky guy to own it now.
That boat is about as hardcore as it gets.
Did it run in other classes under a different badge/number?

Never raced in any other class. The 2nd owner Jeff was thinking of racing it in P3 class at the time with a blower motor he put in but I dont think he ever did race it. It is now located in Canada owned by Adam.
