That is excellent. Finding something in that good of shape, after SOOOOOOOOOO long with so little use is unreal. I dont think the headers even have heat marks...

Great find, I would love to hear the story also. Time machine does'nt even properly describe this boat. We really need to get a v-drive gathering going in Parker again at least once a year. I think there is enough interest and believe it really needs to be Parker, that's where these boats were meant to be.:thumbsup
Very nice.

There was pics of it on HB now riverdavesplace too years ago, I remember the aluminum bow bar on the trailer. There"s a green one in a picture with this one. Jack"s getting to be a hoarder now. What a great score.:thumbsup:thumbsup

Thanks for all the compliments guys! Finding things like this is what makes it all worth it. Definitely going to keep it as original as possible, like many have said...you just don't see things like this. Thanks again!

Hard to imagine. Was it covered? You would think rats would have f'd with it based no the immaculate condition of that barn.
