    I have one, I just had it looked over

    The boat is a bow rider, it has a electric start 70 hp Chrysler motor auto tilt and trim. I believe it is a 72. I have pictures I can email to you if you are interested.

    My boat mechanic stated he he's never seen that engine in such good condition, it has not been rebuilt, the main seal has never been cracked. starts instantly and purrs like a kitten.

    I have a 1970 Sidewinder Super 18' set up for a Chevy small block and a Mercury I/O just rebuilt. My boat was bulit in the first year that Ken Baker (WORLD SPEED RECORD HOLDER) patented the hull and is complete and ready for restoration. Free and clear title and Coast Guard Manufacture plate is intact, red and silver metal flake hull with white rolled interior. This is the original Havasu "BAD BOY" of ski boats. only one found with I/O unit and V8,

    I own a 1969 18 foot sidewinder with a 120 Mercruiser I/O. I have recently spent a lot of money on this boat and it is now ready to sell. The hull is in good shape, all new Beede Guages, MAJOR drive service- resealed, pressure tested, sea water pump, engine water pump, hoses, bellows THE WORKS!! I would like to sell this to someone who will appreciate it, if anyone wants it Im thinking about $5,000. There are alot of other new parts and a good trailer with this boat. This boat is turn key river ready. Please E-Mail me with a reply if you want it. It will also go in the Boat Tader online and probably EBAY
