83 18' CRUSADER
3 owners counting myself.
Original owner - non English speaking Muslims living in Las Vegas. TRUE!
2nd owner - a Good ol country Boy in Kentucky. Once he got tired of it, it sat in his barn untouched for several years.
I pulled it out of his barn and totally refurbished in March 2010.
I would rather hear the ugly truth than be told a beautiful lie!
My buddy isn't a member here but he asked me to post a pic of his pride and joy. This is his '78 Hallett Sprint that he's had for 3 years. He's one of the lucky ones that was able to buy a boat from it's original owner.
And since everyone is posting pics of their boats I might as well post a pic of my 8 owner '78 Rogers.

2nd owner behind my dad. He bought it new in 72.
Me at who knows how old.....
Me and my brother a couple years ago. About 40 years in the family. (notice the V-drive regatta t shirt) lol
I dont know the first owner, he raced it I'm told. The second is a friend of mine that sold it to me so he could buy a Stealth, and I'm glad he did. This is an Ervin Capps boat and has the keel. I will probably have this boat till hell freezes over. this boat will have a place inside out of the weather for a long time to come. Gota Love the Cheyenne's.

I know the first owner of yours and he did the same thing you do with it, just a little lake racer.
130.7mph in about 7sec, from an idle.

Racing is who gets there first, not who gets there on schedule.

I'm the third owner for the Eliminator. I'm the 2nd owner of my Sundance. As for the Sleek Craft, I think it may be like marrying a hooker, don't know how many were there before you!
Thanks Dennis. Wish it ran as good as yours! You still searching for a family cruizer?Thats really cool, Kevin. To have the boat in the fam for so long and know exactly what has been done to it and for it to look SOOOO good is awesome. And not to mention how great it runs. Cool dude!
Not sure how on the owner's count..but I belive Im the fourth..cp598 can you help here? or Green With Envey..?..There is a real sad part to this..But Shoemaker does remeber riggen this one...being 1 of 2 green 1979 CPs out of Texas....
I was told by the guy I bought it from, that he grew up on the boat and bought it from the original owners. Family friends type of deal. originally had a 327 in it. was told that it was bought new from schiada in 69, drove out to martinez, and had been there ever since. After re-doing the whole thing, I don't know what to believe. supposedly 3rd owner.
