Beautiful Wolverine.

Unique cat owned by the marina owner. Someone said it was a Maelstrom. It had a flawless woodgrain finish on the deck. As well as plenty of hp.

Brownie, were you involved with Cary on the 49 / 50'? Remember in my wasted youth (mid-70's) seeing one with a tall walk-thru windshield with fold-back pieces and a huge stainless & teak helm wheel. Were many made like this....haven't seen one quite like since?

The year 1975 Offshore Racing on Lake St Clair was becoming very popular, boat's like Lil Rhino, Wolverine, & L'IL SMIDGEN were the boat's to beat ! I thought I could run with the big boy's with my 24' Cheetah 454 jet boat in modified class M-77. What was I thinking !! But the cool thing was I got to race against the Great's Like Wally Harper, Pete Smith,& many more and that's PRICELESS .
