So I’v been tossing around the idea of a cool vintage 60’-70’s vdrive. I dig that period of boats. I know they got fast and handled better as time progressed, but it would be about having a cool hot rod for the lower river. And I love the rounded profiles of that period. Other than here or Craigslist, is there any other places to find them for sale ?

I have a flatbottom for sale. It's a 1966 Wickens Whirlwind with a blown FE390. Split case casale. I'm asking 8500 or best offer. It needs some love, but it runs and is fun. Gets lots of 👍

I found my Hondo on the Facebook Flatbottom vdrive marketplace. I hate Facebook, but there is lots of vdrive stuff on there.

Thats a sweet boat! I wish I was ready to pull the trigger today. I’m going to be selling our 87’ Centurion ski boat in the next few weeks or so. Until then, I’m just in the tire kicking mode.

Thanks for the replies. I’ll take a look at the FB marketplace as well. I can just see myself having a blast cruising the rio in one of these. And where we boat, most days are perfect for a flatly.

Is your boat still available, by chance?
