Thats awesome! The 30 looks a little goofy if you ask me. It was the early sixties though!

Now if we can find the diesel v30 from the Sam griffith race in 64....

Au contraire, f1, I like the lines. If the V20 is curvy-sexy like Pam Anderson, the V30 is a sleeker-sexy, like Charlize Theron. ;D

I wonder if the mold for the V30 hull still exists. Tell me you couldn't make money on that boat as a "modernized-classic" hull. Just looking at that picture, I see a raised/flush casting deck up front with a small cuddy under it, center console w/ a half tower, and bracketed four-stroke 250s. Ohhh, mama.

I think I'll build this boat. Now where'd I put that half a mil' I had laying around for startup costs... :P

Re: 1963 Miami-Bimini Race CorrectedMan that 30 is
 

You're right Chesapeake..the way they're makin' 30' CC these days...you could sell 'em faster than you could lay 'em up...Man, that 30 is COOL ... 8)....and then start workin' on an EXPRESS ....Whoa!!...over the TOP...w/a pair of 300 Yammers(when they get the bugs out)...whadda screamer...Contender, get outta the way... :o

Here's a very sad looking 27ft alim. I'd love to have it, but the cost is too much to truck it cross country.

Wow that would be great with a twin bracket!! Twin 250 hp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
