I got a PM from Angie today letting me know that ***boat had published some pics of our Howard in the CBBB article.
Look on page 150 in the lower left corner, a good view of the original gelcoat and interior. The boat was built in the winter of '67-'68, and the upholstery still looks almost new.
The boat was stored for over 20 years before we bought it from a guy in Lake Havasu City. I went through the '64 Holman-Moody 427 FE and just honed the cylinders and replaced the bearings. It's standard bore and all stock, including the two Holley 660 CFM carbs and Ford aluminum intake manifold.
The Edelbrock motor mounts and exhaust logs are good period pieces, and the boat is almost exactly as it was when running on the Colorado in the 70's.
The 1100 mile tow to CBBB was well worth it, we got to meet a bunch of good folks and also won the trophy for "Most Classic V-Drive".
We plan to make the tow again next year, it was a bunch of fun with good peeps.....
