Hello Jim,
Glad to hear of another Southwind Tunnel Dragster thats available...I will pass the word around...I also own a 1979 Southwind...I've owned four Jet boats since 1959 and the Southwind was the best! I would never part with it...It is the only jet that steers straight without a rudder...I had a copy made of "Going Places", a hull that broke all records in 1979...It ran 146 mph, with non official runs around 160...I have been trying to get a copy of this article, which I still have somewhere in my files...My boat is all original and still like new...It runs 100+ without nitro and all those gagets...I lost tract of the company when they sold the molds to Placecraft...It looks like they are gone forever??? I feel this is the best construction of a hull available, even today...Hang on to it! However, I will pass the word around up North...Ken
