Jody, That's #9 the one going to auction is it's predecessor #8.
There's a good article on woodyboater.com about this boat. The boat was repowered years ago and just recently the original hand built Miller v-16's were found and restored. Looks like #9 was repowered along the way too, I would guess it probably had Packard v-12 originally. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Listen now- I don’t want any of you guys bidding me up on this one like you did when I bought “IX”. I had to sell off my Cayman estate to cover that fiasco good thing that was before the real estate market tanked. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

I bet Pete will be in the bidding, It would make a big impression on the tubing circuit. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats. 1987 Ski Nautique |

I watched the video, and I think Pete may have been driving one of those boats from back in his younger days.
