could anybody help me with the history of my boat anybody in texas seen it or seen it run, the guy i bought it from couldnt tell me much of anything

[Casey]

back in the late 80's or early 90's that boat was around here. I believe the guy who owned it lived in Nassau Bay, off Clear Lake. looks like it hasn't changed much. i'll make a few calls and see what i can come up with

hmmm...my mechanic raced a 32 Maelstrom as a back-up when he ripped the deck off his shadow cat. That white one with the V-8's looks exactly like it. The only difference is he was running evinrudes...This was in the Key West worlds around 1988. Boat was called "Boardwalk"

Bill Westberry owned the boat when it was in Houston then he sold it to a guy in north Texas named A.C. Parsons. I got this info from a buddy of mine who use to work on it.

Thank you for the info, yeah i knew A.C. owned this one but i was told he was killed in an auto acciedent and it went to auction and the guy i bought it from said a body shop got a hold of it and then he bought it from them, but he didnt really seem to know much of anything about boats at all.

[margateguy]

Thanks for the pics! I am going to post some pics in just a few mins let me go take some of mine

Hello one and all. I just bought the white Maelstrom in the pics and it is basically the same as in the pics. I was wondering if you ever got it rumming and if so how did she run and what kind of speeds where you getting out of her.

Thanks, Greg

Sorry I mean running lol

margateguy you have it for sale, what are you doing with the engines and did you get all three of them?

Cool project boat.

[margateguy]

It is not for sale. I just bought it and have not picked it up yet. I got it with just 2 of the motors and the one does not run (no spark I am told) If I can get them both running I will run it the way it is this summer (I already have to many projects for this winter) and then do some sort of repower next winter along with paint and more. I know where there is a Chris Cat with triple V* 300's that are all in good running condition and I may be taking that boat in trade. Do you need or have a market for the OMC V8's? I was just trying to find out if anyone knew how the boat ran with twins or the original triples on it.

[bleddie22]

Margateguy do you still have the boat?

[bradmd]

I'd like to see some pics of maelstrom boats and how high they have their OB brackets mounted on the transom. Also what size tunnel tab they are running. thx

Saw your listing on uShip. LMK if you need it moved back East. I am delivering a new race boat for another S&F member to the PacNW and can help you with the return trip.
