Engine was a Mercury, 3ltr, 2 stroke that revved to 10k

Nice! I grew up going to tunnel hull races all over the country, my dad grew up boat racing and although he was done racing by the time he had me, he still had a lot of friends in the sport. We'd basically just drive all over the place and help in the pits w his friends, I I usually got stuck hauling parts or wiping down boats, I didn't know anything when I was that young. Then once I was 16, that ended because too busy chasing skirts
