Hey AFX, you asked for boat photos...I own all these, and built the engines as well.   Yeah...…..just another sickness...….first 3 are my blown gas hydro,...second 4 are the dual engine unblown fuel flat,..next 2 are a 427 Ford boat I owned and built,  followed up with an all polished up Nascar 406 for my present ski boat, and finally, a shot of me in the  dragster.

Nice tow vehicle too.

You know, I've ben towing with that '71 Mach 1 for 29 years.....prior to that car I was using a '70 Olds 442 W-30.  People get a kick out of seeing a muscle car tow. They have enough power, and all the trailers have brakes, so everything stops as well.

Tha is so cool.  It's rare these days to see an unmolested original Mach1.  I have had my 72 since 1981 and most of the some of the mods were options (wheels, stripes, spoilers) but the steering wheel, larger anti-sway bars and headers are not.

Thanks vamach1,

                            Cool! Your car is like mine! My Mach has indeed remained darned original throughout my ownership. I have , however, added a trans cooler, shift kit, electric trailer brakes control, and changed the rear end from a 3.00 to 1 open nine inch, to a 3.50 to 1 traction-loc.....all in the interest of better towing and launch ramp traction. My Mach was built sans side stripes, wing, and chin spoiler, but some years ago was used in a movie, and they asked me to add the options as it gave the car more screen presence, and I've just left it all on. I mentioned that I used to tow with a '70 Olds 442 W-30 Ram-Air...….here's that car towing the same hydro. The 455 in that car pulled like nobody's business. Great car.
