No not today I was looking for one before I bought our SVL. Just as a play boat. I like outboards. Never know might trade for the right one.

I don't know how may were converted to IO, it used to be pretty cool to see 10-15 triple OBs heading out, there was always alot of blown up stuff after those races....

10-13-2009 01:16 PMhea mobile or ryan, abck in the day did the race course come back in the harbor like it does today.
just wondering since it looks like in mobile's pics that the starting line-up is wide enough and takes up the whole harbor?
and did they run cats with vees ?

It did come back in. You are right there were so many boats it took the whole harbor. There were 5 or 7 starts to boot.
They were like 20 some odd mile laps in '87 much longer the years before

Cats, vees, tritons, whatever. We all ran together. And they weren't all outboards. In fact, I seem to recall the class of the field in 1985 was a red boat. Can't recall the name.

Pro Stock was Triple 2.4 and later maybe 2.5 but never, 3.0's
Besides that on it best day would run as well as what he has. My guess is Mark was thinking of a cat anyway.

Wow.....sorry to butt in here but these pictures took me back to my first boat race ever.
We were transferred from Mass. to the Keys, my husband had to go to KW on race day , I went along and sat at the Pier House to wait. When Popeye's (I'm pretty sure) boat and helicopter came by..........I was hooked and I couldn't leave. The rest is crazy history.

Pat, Those were taken from the Pier House second floor bar.. I pushed our guys off in the race boat and ran to save a spot on the rail.
I first went in '85 did 4 years in a row and like you was hooked. '85 changed my life.
