The 289 Ford Interceptor engine was ‘marinized’ by Holman Moody of NASCAR fame with a Holman Moody intake manifold and Holly 4 barrel carburetor. It has been well maintained, used every summer over the last 10 years with 2 varnish refreshings and 2 bottom paintings during that time. So the boat is of modern construction in a traditional method that will last far longer than when new.

Unique Boat Restoration in Moultonborough, NH redid the entire inside of the boat, from the stringers to seating, upholstery, rugs, stereo, etc. It hadn't been used in several years and I decided to surprise him by having the boat renovated, with hopes my own kids would learn to drive it as well with their grandfather. ![]() My dad owned this boat and I grew up on Lake Winnipesaukee with it. ![]()
