      I have seen that picture before but only from that view. would be cool to see a picture of it in the water or better yet under power.

      maybe towing two skiers wearing fishbowls over their heads.. ... it would have to be loud inside

        Hey Snow Man

        That looks to be a 348 or 409 chevy in that ski boat.
        Wonder if they have an opening some place in that bubble top for air

        Not sure I would want to try and share air with that Early Big Block.

        They had a few sleepers in those years. Factory Z-11 I think. Dual 4's and put out 425hp on premium pump gas. It was really one of the first 427's but the heads Looked like a 409 but the bolt pattern was Way different.

        I would say that boat would pull a skier or two

          Joe, I would say that that boat would dislocate the shoulders of a skier or two.
