My dad used to work at OMC in Peterborough, they used to have a performance division. The story is they were trying to tune a boat similar to this to run 100mph on Little Lake. And only got 98 mph.. super cool boat thanks
I spent my summers as a kid at my grandparents cottage on lake of bays. We were 4 doors down from where this boat was stored. My cousin and I would Putt by trying to sneak a peak at it sitting up in the boat house. One day, we finally caught a glimpse of her, the owner had finally taken her out for a rip. What an absolutely menacing sound those evins made resonated through the bay!!!! Man I love boats!!
Can relate. My dream boat growing up was the Baja sport 240. In the late 80’s it was one of the coolest affordable offshore boats available. They are still a few out there and they bring big money.
I own the black and gold boat in the first 10 seconds of the video. It was the first hull used to make the Tuff 21. Happy to share the history and the boat is in perfect condition. It is one of the only American built Challenger 21's built by George Linder in Canada. Please contact me for more info.
Just bought the exact Tuff 21 from the beginning of the video. Great boat!
Man, that just feels like it would have been space age in 1979, beautiful looking boat.

where on the lake was it?
@@craiggery it was in between the last 2 sets of narrows going towards the dam in Baysville
When the perfect fairy tale gets to the old Evinrude trying to start I laughed too hard, because that's exactly how my old Evinrude starts, lol!!!
Love to see a longer version on this boat..thing of beauty! Been watching your show since day 1
Very cool, thanks for sharing!

How fast is this boat ?
That and the Cigarette 21....my first wants.👍
Come onnn you can't say what your speed numbers are!?!??
PowerBoat Television should be setting the example for safe boating practises. Not wearing a life jacket reflects poorly on your show.
You DO realize that some people like to live dangerously, and both these are adults, don’t you?
