?? Any photo's?? I thought the boat was long gone or changed livery many years ago! More info? Hope so.

regarding "you & - " - I am only responsible for the left & right bits that go wrong.
regardingf Eraf - sorry no pix
She is in a big shed right hand door just inside perched on a high shelf on the right hand wall.
The shed is the large structure located the other side of the dock inlet at the bottom right hand corner of the castle prominitory, (just to the south east of the large round roof).
Security can be tight entering from the land. Best go by boat or pay up mafia sub.

Deafened by Mercury V8s
One of my faves. Imagine what it was like to be in that sportboat let alone to be at the wheel of the Skater with the throttles thrown forward:

.....When the port motor on ' Brooks Athletic Shoes' seizes up on approach @ 125mph.
They'd be wearing it, but not like a (athletic) shoe, more like a hat, or very large butt plug!

My favourite picture somewhere around here is of the cowboy upside down in his los locos buzzi rib. I dont think he raced after that incident. He lost his chilli.

He did race, but seemed to lack lustre a bit.
That was Torquay '96 I think. But could have been '95.

Ive allways Like the Limit up 77 so these too for me apart from the upside down shoot for Los Locos. And this other one Hustler with the spray behind it shows the speed.
This Hustler reminds me of the sidewinder boat that was a round 10 years ago! the boat that was said to be once used as a drugs runner. Where that boat now.
Graham stevens picture's found in multimedia.

My parents had dinning mats of limit up 77 chromed in perspex with a navy blue background in the same stance as these 2 picture's, we used to go and see them in farnborough where they were based so i guess they were given to my parents.
Lol i always used to sit at the table staring at my mat dreaming i'd own Limit up 77 one day. Ha hoo! Its probably been recycled into bathtubs by now or Cobra Kit.

Sidewinder first appeared in that format in 1995 at the Cowes event (Owner: John Eberhart) very pretty.
I think it now lives on Hayling Island somewhere, owned by the brother of one of the team from back then.

Yes i have a picture of it at cowes, what a great sound that boat had, I'll always remember sindwinder coming out of Poole behind us about 3 miles away and still sounding like it was right next to us. Looking round think were WTF is that coming from, it was either 1996/97 bournemouth pier to pier record run weekend! near to the cowes weekend anyway.

Two from the files
Another `abandon coffin` shot for shelbysteve,plus yet another HI snap.This shot encapsulates what the racing should be like,`i.e. close action past the heaving masses,and then zoom off out to sea for some real racing.BTW the masses are at Southsea Castle.
