lol Smidgen
My father Ronald Stephens owned the boat Lil Smidgen. Randy Victory owned it before him. My father put twin 502’s built out the ass in it. The boat would run 97MPH at around 6500RPM. I remember driving it home when dad had too much to drink at idle hour yacht club. Good times. The original motors and TRS1 drives were stolen. The boat itself was stolen by John Boca of Marine City. My guess is that he sold it before he died. Wish I could drive it one more time. Hell of a boat!!!

I would love to come look at it and make an offer. Or send me some pics so I can see if it’s the actual boat. My dad would **** his pants if I pulled it home and backed it into the drive.

Randy Victory bought it in the late 80’s to early 90’s. My dad bought it from Randy who is a family friend in 94’. My dad added the glass reinforcement to the bow and made it a 32’. My dad owned R&D auto service on Mack avenue in St. Clair Shores. He’s had Built the big blocks himself. The dry/wet headers were so close that you could fit your hand between left bank and right bank. He also added the arch to weight the boat down. Yes!! It’s the same boat. Randy was best friends with Wally Harper.

The boat should have 7 chimes. Wally Harper had two chimes added. Also it was a 32’ and Wally made it a 34’. May be a different boat. But my dads boat was the Lil Smidgen. It was a Sport Spectrum though. Not a Magnum.
