Default My old Banana

Just found some pics of my '80 24' Banana, It was originally Hells Banana, M666 powered by twin blown smallbocks/TRS drives. I bought it as a project in the late 80's, sold it in '96 to a guy from Lake Winni in NH. Man, did this boat handle well for a small boat!

We blew up a lot of motors back in those days. Many late nights wrenching with my buds in the driveway only to blow it up again on the weekend! You know what, I miss those days!

Hey that is one of the two boats we showed at the 78 Miami Boat Show. We only made one with the blue tint windshield...it had candy stripe blue and white upholstery.

We called at the last minute and ....Yes, of course we have inside show space for you sir!!

Boy has the world changed over the past 40 years
