Off hand I dont. I am going to try and track down the boat and see if I cant find it and also as my father if he remembers who the guy was he bought it from that raced it. All I know is the guy was from Minnesota but that all I know right now. They sure dont make boats like they used to.

I just got off the phone with my father and he said he bought it from a guy in 1970-1971 and he lived in Brooklyn Park MN and that also, my cousin might have the boat up north just sitting so a phone call will be made tomorrow and hopefully I get some good news if not a few leads towards finding it. Will keep everyone posted.
Man I am getting kind of excited now.
If I do find this boat my own thread will be made and sorry for hijacking this one.

Well, got some sad news today on the boat. My cousin did still have the boat after all these years but in the mid 90's it sunk in the Snake River about 130 miles north of Minneapolis MN, About 50 miles from my place, and was never retrieved so its still at the bottom of the river. Make me want to cry.
And it was a very well kept and cared for boat untill the last 2 or 3 years of its life. What a shame.
Im guessing the way my cousin used to drive it it would have happened eventually. Thats 3 boats he has wrecked. Think he would have learned after the first one.
Oh well... Anyone know where I can find a 13' Hustler Wildcat that not in need of to much repair?

Did your dad know the Nardi's? Two brothers I think. Both had the 1000 BP's on Hustlers I think.
I have some photos of them too.
