Part of an ad. When we identify the boat I'll post the whole thing. For 1967 this was amazing performance.

Seebold?

**Mark75H** · 04-13-2002, 07:41 PM

Seebold was still racing kneel downs in 67.

Carlson?

Magnum Missile.

I'm agreeing with Boston, although I've gotten myself a little confused over the difference between Magnum, Maltese, and Missile, it's gotta be somewhere in that family???????

Glastron/Molinari would be my next guess.

Laker, my old Shooting Star started as kind of a rounded tunnel at the front, but changed to a dead flat bottom from about half way back all the way to the transom.

Looking at the pictures, it looks like my Carlson, but I can't quite tell where the steering wheel is. On my Carlson it's on the left.

Magnum Missle.

**Bruce Washburn** · 04-14-2002, 07:54 PM

That is from one of the first ads for the magnum missle.

There was a splash/copy called a Mikken made in Canada years ago. On a fall run one with a hopped up V6 Merc blew over.
Notice what type of motor is on the boat. A lighter less powerfull inline six. That was the most powerfull motor of the day.
All I'm trying to say is if you choose to mount a V6 on one of these hulls, please be carefull and respect it's and your limits.
Watch the wind and the wind coming off of other boats.
It is a pretty cool looking boat.
I can't believe that shifter. Thats bizzare.

I've never seen a gearshift like that on one. Sure he's not holdin' a goosneck???? Looks like a Bud to me........True.

My ole' bud that I'm always quotin' that retired from Merc, and his brother and first cousin bought 3 of those boats. Two had the old blue stripe pre-XS short 1500's and the third had a Twister 1. The first cousin with one of the 1500's blew his over and killed himself in it. Those boats were only capable of mid 70's with the interiors in em, high 70's when they stripped em down and kneeled in em. All these guys were basically scared of em with inlines and they all had tons of seat time in all kinds of stuff, working part time at Lake X as test drivers.

Those boats have a lot of lift built in the tunnel, just like everything else did in the late 60's/early 70's. I wouldn't even think of riddin' in one with a V6.
