[Smokin' Joe]

MY EXACT THOUGHTS. I would love to have it with a 40 on it, good GOD can you emagine the expressions when you come around someone, Damm let me have it Joe, please please please....

The hot motor would be hard to find. The ca 1995 3 cyl. OMC 35 looper designed by Jim Nerstrom. The motors nearly are nonexistent, would need shortshaft with tiller. He told me it's more like 40-45hp.

I first saw the boat outside i a Mercury dealer's lot ca. 1980 in E. Ky.. I thought, let it sit a few years then offer something. In 1982 it was still there, he wanted $1000 with trailer. The boat retailed for $2000 then. Louis Collins and I both had the XR-14 in 1978, Darris' first attempt at a raceboat. I set the EP record with mine in 1980, traded it back in 1982 for a std. 13'. Louis traded his back for a 20' in 1978. Louis' XR-14 was sawed up, bondoed, etc, and became the EP-15, which is what my fishing boat is called. There were about 20 made, maybe 4-5 survive. Mine was kept dry so the wood between the glass layers didn't get wet and rot.

Couple pics from early fall, me and two brothers playing on the Waccammaw. One is of my bro Jay and his Fast Craft. Good times. Love my Coastal just wish it were bigger.
