    I happened to be flipping through some photos have on my computer and noticed a boat I've never seen before...

    It's in the bottom right of this photo. All black with the blue stripes and massive blower scoops. Looks like 3 man race cockpit and the tripple blue stripes like a lot of Pepe's race boats. Anyone (Pepe, Jo) know the story?

    Still think the canopy boat is superbad as well.

    Here's a couple shots of canopy boats. Pepe says he was the first to do it and I haven't heard anybody prove otherwise... I also know he still has the molds to make another one.

    I've probably looked at that photo a dozen times and never noticed the black boat before... must be INSANE if it was powered appropriately. Pantera's always got a couple of tricks up their sleeves...

    That white canopied boat was built between 1985-1990.

    The black w/ blue trim boat looks familiar... maybe there's more pics on the office walls.

    I think I've asked about that before, but as with the continuum transfuctioner, it's mysterious and powerful and it's mystery is only exceeded by its power...

    That picture was taken in 1991 while located in 188 st ( thunder boat row ).

    The black 28' was a 1985 model powered by twin United Racing 600 HP big blocks and would run in the 90s back then. Not sure what ever happened to it.

    Maybe my Father knows.I will ask him.
