My memory fails me on this one. That is my boat and car in the background and I recognize several of the other boats in the picture. I just can't recall where this one is from?

The Mustang is a 73 302 4 speed car. Early 302. Had the heads off that motor twice in 3 years. Kept burning valves. No trunck room in that car hence the roof rack. Picture might be 1975 because there is Olegators JP Viper and I always associate that boat with 75

I have owned several Mustangs. That one was the worst. Besides the valve issues it did rust very quickly. Kept it 3 years and traded it for a Monte Carlo which lost the bottom end out of the motor at 88k. 70s domestic automotive quality?
