That was my first speedboat. Did 48 mph (gps) with a 70hp motor.
It was ok on flat water but used to stuff badly in the chop, could have been my driving though.
Due to this I became a dab hand at making new windscreens!

I always had a soft spot for the Simms Super V. Always wanted one when I was a boy.
Didn't they have a kind of 'Droop-snoot' nose, that dropped away for "better visibilty"; maybe that was why they stuffed easily?

The front does drop off a bit!......a special feature!
gives you a good view of the wave you are about to go under.
Loads of fun though

they better not produce more than 3 a year............... they'll flood the market..................supply will outstrip demand; market forces will ensure a decrease in price.
then they'll be doing themeselves out of a nice tidy profit!
