Former race boat?

I just picked up my TX19. This is me right now---->

Does anyone here have a pic of it from when it raced? Ever seen it/know anything about it?

I think it's a former ski race boat. It has large side gast tanks, guessing at least 15 gallons. The steering colum was mounted about 8" off the center of the keel line. I haven't weighed it (yet) but I was told it was 350 lbs. It does seem to flex similar to a friend of mines PB Gullwing which is also supposed to weigh 350 LBS.. On the transom it used to have the following written on it:
Mr.Dick Martin / San Diego Coin Exchange
Golden Getaway Corp. and the whole gang
Mr. Jim Youngblood / Dominator Jet Co.
Super Jet Engineering / Mariner Trailer Co.
Unique Metal Co. / Equality Plating
Schneider Racing Cams / S & S Headers

Any info you guys have on this boat or anything you see in the pictures is appreciated!

looks like it had a lenco driveline on it. i dont think you'd want to run circles (ski race) with that type of driveline. looks like dragboat type stuff.

How much you pick that thing up for Rod?

Good point Cyclone.

Funny thing about foreclosure is that sooner or later you stop making the $3,170 a month mortgage payment. It adds up quick!!! BTW, I haven't lived in the streets (yet), my family and I are still in my house for another 4 months or so.

Someone has to of seen this boat on the water before...

I've been asking around and all I've heard is good things about these boats which is the biggest reason why I bought it.
