Talked with "Keep It On Plane, Wayne" in Key West. Restored Bounty Hunter. Had 5's, original carbs, guages, steering, etc. Boat was shipping to France after the Key West dial in. He ran a little between heats etc. Nice Job....

11-11-2008 11:24 PMIf I remember correctly, it's a '73 or '74.
We were out running with it in Otis' Gladiator and it ran very strong. They took the fuel injection off of the 482fi's and dropped the compression, but other than that, it's original. This was the ex-Fayva Shoes boat. Leaving for France, never to be seen again

That boat really shows why HORBA needs to put on races with classic boats! I would much rather see video of that boat running in big seas than standing on the shore watching one of these new monster cats going 200mph in bathtub like conditions.

-Glad I had a chance to see it in person before it left the country. What a cool old ride, wish I stepped up to the plate when it was available.
