daddy cool only needs engines, the rest of boat is in great condition and ready to go....and engines are available to put in it through the owners . It is a steal at the price they want.

Charlie, have you heard anymore from the guy who contacted you about Mongoose. I was given the impression that it wasn't for sale and maybe "tied up" with some red tape at the moment. I did give him my contact info to pass along to the owner but never heard anything.

Although neither of these boats have the history of those listed above... I'm in process on the restoration of the '86 Pantera that ran as the United Racing Engines C-69 boat (an apparently later as "Wild Bullet" around Miami) and I also have the 1977 Pantera 24 race boat that was numbered P51 and went by the name "Bad Temper" however it has been converted to outboards on a bracket (prior to my purchase) and is going through something of a resto mod now.

Charlie, What criteria do you have for the HORBA boats? Do they have to be famous, driven by a famous person, won a race, or ??????
