Is that you in the pic of a ss9m race boat flying out of the water? Looks like a hard landing, but an awesome picture.

I used to race the ss9m, 30' in the 80's. First as "Country Boys" M-72 and then as "Karateka" C-72. First boat had Custom engine serv. motors... the second had Randys C and G(Cobra) all small blocks. I sold the boat to a friend in PR.
A great runner. Humberto Picon and I were good friends for a long time. I havnt seen him in a while though. Someone said he's selling cars in Homestead.

ss8m
Not sure if they are now owned by the same people. I know Carrera has changed hands a few times over the years. Im a fan of their older style hulls. I recently purchased a 1989 Carrera ss8m with a single BBC. I think its a great riding and handling boat. Not the fastest boat being 27 Ft long with only a single in it. But I am presently building a 540 to hopefully take care of that problem!

ss8m small blocks
The person I bought my ss8m boat from, his brother had the same boat with 2 small blocks and Alpha ss drives. That boat ran over 75 MPH with I believe 400 Hp each. 383 CI motors. The small block boat was alot faster than the single BBC. He did have a problem w/ breaking outdrive parts though.
