    Default Just picked up a new old tunnel

    Just got this tunnel this last weekend. It's been around for quite some time. Was owned by a guy name Luther Harkins. Art Kennedy drove with him or for drove for him many years ago. The boat came with everything except a power head installed. G/C, #4 drive, 12" mid and cowling, fuel cell and capsule. boat istself is in very good shape, other than paint. No soft spots, no loose glueing and all wood intack. I've been talking to Luther for quite some time and listening to some of the stories he has. Simply amazing. Maybe some of you out there know this boat from somewhere. Just would like to hear your stories. here oare some pics.

    No racing, just going to ***k with the Bass boaters. That has always been fun. They really don't like to be outrun, by anything! It's just a new toy to play with down here in southern Missouri.

    Did the same thing with the boat in the avatar. Most of these Bass boaters really hate being smoked by a V-4, especially a Johnson motor. Being this is Merc country.
