    We stayed with the original colors except we added an orange and green out stripe. The tanks glasses into the hull deck are 20 gal per side. We discontinued the use of those tanks and had a couple of gunnel tanks built to fit in that are 18 aside. Pics do not show them installed yet.

    I remember the day she was delivered to lake Arrowhead and up until then nobody had witnessed a monster like she was. A picture sits somewhere in memory at the north shore marina because see was running well into the 90’s MPH back then. Banks had her dynode at 849 HP. Still considered by many...

    Yes, the engine is a 454 mark IV built by Gale Banks originally twin turbo with a 3 speed turbo 400 trans She has been in Lake Arrowhead all her life with the occasional trip to the river to shake her out. Picture at Havasu around 1988.
