Boat is a 1978 Howard original gel coat, he keeps it well waxed, interior is 8 years old and still in good condition, Ellis tandem axle trailer , the cav plate hardware is showing its age after all the years he takes it to Powell for a week each year, he has new cav plate hardware for the boat. The engine and lightning headers only have 6 trips on them , 2 years of install time, he has always used the boat as a ski boat. Polished split case Casale v-drive with 15 percent overdrive , ss drive shaft guard , steel 8 degree bolt on strut, 1 inch prop shaft , 11/3/8 x 16 3 blade ss menkins prop.
