Ray and I have been helping his friend Mike restore this old 16' sidewinder, finally got it out today. I believe it is a 1972 with an original 120 chrysler. I did the paint, Ray, Mike, and his son Chris did the rerig.

Rick, a bit off topic...
There is either a 24-26ft boat on an elevator just north of the Southern Blvd Bridge, on the West side. White w/ an IO. It seems to be an old P&D or similar.
Do you know it? Looks real clean.

I saw an add for a boat that sounds like what you are discribing and in the right area, its a Banana and was going fairly cheap I will see if I can find it again.

Don't think its a banana, the fairing is curved.
Banana is usually a V.
Superboat is usuall flat, and pantera is flat or V.
Wish i would have taken a pic.
Have seen it in the same spot for 3+ yrs. White w/ blue boot stripe.

having trouble with that on the work comp. will try at home tonight. I agree, curved widscreen would probably be P&D.
