That's the one. Did you talk to the owner?

[wattaway2]

Yes spoke to him for a lil bit he's owned the boat for a long time originally it had twin I/O's in it he has redone the bottom and transom and wanted to use a bracket got a deal on the 175 to test it out and seems to be very pleased with the speed did not get any numbers but like most of us it's a work in progress !
Told him of this site and numerous "sightings" of his boat . Not sure he realize what a Jem in the ruff he has ! Will try and keep in touch with him from time to time

I cant remember if Carla or Big Shrimpin or someone else posted this, but does anyone have a bigger better image of this photo:

Gillie - I don't remember where these came from originally. I think they were posted to this site back in 2006'ish. I think it was from Carla when she got this 21.

Pictures came from Cliff Root. Cliff found CSC.com and posted the boat as a free boat to the first taker. He gave the pictures to the CSC member that saved the boat from the dump. That member gave the photos to Carla and Skip.Cliff and Beverly live on Longboat Key and are members of my power squadron. We are friends. His dad bought the boat from Johnson-Kirby. His dad worked there. Boat sat in Miami in Cliff's yard for 30 yrs. he never fixed it up like he planned.
