Nice boat like a muscle boat I see the engine cover is built up to accommodate big motor.
A nice V8 and shotgun pipes must have sounded lovely.
I have a 21foot Tiger shark version of this the mark 2 Avenger with a square screen and better handling deck design .

avenger 21 bade runner

Drew,you will be pleased to hear Blade Runner still is alive & kicking,she is based at my parents house in the new forest.I brought her in the 90"s. Fell in love straight away.When i brought her name had been changed to Wet&Wild ,but knew she was blade runner by all the invoices.Looking at your pictures the sides are blue with wet&wild logodown the length,the yellow &white remains the same, fordeck is white with logo,but railings have been removed for a more streamline look.The engine small block 350 chev lighten balanced, forge pistons, race cam,single plane manifold,with four barrel holley,fourbolt main.Over the years the engine has had various amount of work,but 5years ago i decided to complete rebuild her having to find another raceing block which hadn"t been used in salt water.along with niggleing problems ihad with her. unfortunely i never got a chance to take out,due to getting married,children & moveing to Norfolk shame,know i am a bit more settled i will take out wraps & either take up to norfolk or sale her.I mainly used her in poole,where i have met people who hve owned her,might have been your father?I brought her from a guy in Ferndown.I remember struggleing to find enough money to buy her,but you alway"s do find a way.
