Looking for any information on this true Classic. Boat was built by Bud and Bob Muravez(some of you may know Bob by his "alias" from the "Frieght Train" dual engine dragster of the sixties, Floyd Lippencott JR.). The boat is now owned by Clyde Dedrick. It is an all wood Campbell with a modified bottom that was rigged to do dual duties as an enduro/ski race boat in the late 60's, early 70's. It was powered by 2 Ed Pink bigblocks and I'm told ran over 110mph back in the day. It is going to Clayton John's for wood repair in December and I hope to get it back sometime toward the middle of the year to re-rig it. Thought you'all would enjoy these pictures of this one of a kind Campbell. Was told that it had been in a couple magizines way back, so, I'd appreciate any info.

We went ahead and hung it all together just to see how everything fit. It did not have a transmission before, but, a shorty will fit.

Six 2's on each motor. The exhaust is all waterjacketed. When she goes back together it'll be twin hydraulic roller 540's. Should be a site to see and hear!
