Muskoka magazine is doing a feature article on "classic" performance boats in their July issue.
They've asked me to put together a group of boats for a photo shoot. Any performance boats, outboard preferably, from the late 70's, 80's and 90's. Charger, Challenger, Hydrostream, Baja, Checkmate, Allison, Sidewinder etc. They're also looking for historical info, stories etc.
Just as an FYI, the first article in the June issue will focus on the Gravenhurt races and a third article, likely in the August issue will be on the outboard drag series.
Post or PM what ya got!
Thanks.

Restored 1980 Glastron GT150 w/ matching restored/rebuilt 1980 Johnson 115. When are they thinking of doing the shoot? I will have the boat up in the Dorset area for the last two weeks of July.
