Anyone know where this boat is?

It's around.

Billy B probably has his contact info.

I've got the magazine it was featured in 30 some years ago. :cool

The guy that owned it two or three owners ago is looking for it.
The exit arrow is from him flipping the boat and spitting his wife (then girlfriend) out at the turn at Buckskin.

That's not what it says in the magazine. Shows Mel Balisky as the original owner. :thumbsup

Not the original owner, just a past owner.
Was it named EXIT when Balisky owned it?:headscratch:

Yes, and he says he saw an exit sign as "another way to go" and named his boat from that. Doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense to me...., but that's what it says. :headscratch:

It's been my experience Jerry that magazines are very rarely accurate.

I think what you mean to say is "completely" accurate. Anyways, you go ahead and believe the 20 or 30 year old story you read on the internet and I'll go with the 1977 "print" fresh from the 1977 interview.

Thanks Jerry!

I must have had the story off. Apparently the new paint job was after he flipped it. I was told it has been repainted white. Kinda sucks after thirty years with that scheme.


Can you scan and post the rest of the article?

That IS the entire article.

Ya, the boat is now white with yellow trim.
