listed is a 1974 Hal Kelly Wetback, and a 1974 evinrude 25hp 2 stroke. everything is immaculate to an unbelievable level! this boat has been garage stored and its first time in the water was 6/26. as a 17 year old the original owner built the boat, but when his family moved the moved somewhere without a body of water and it has been garage kept in a stable environment in Texas since! I then Received it, and rebuilt the carb, fuel pump, and replaced all fuel lines. On 6/26 I ran it for the first time and achieved a top speed of 34 mph. if reproped with a higher pitch i believe it could go as high as 60. a truly one of a kind boat in amazing shape, i simply do not have a use for it and would rather have a fishing boat. I simply cannot express how good of shape its in for its age a fantastic antique for someone! fell free to send an questions my way i will answer the best i can!

Questions
Hello,
Is this boat still available and for sale ?
Sincerely,
Dave
Hi Dave: Yes, by looking at i know it is a Wetback. We built 3 of them back in the mid 50's. raced them in the North West. This was a class B & C boat. In 1957 I managed to win the western Canada regional championship
With it and came out 3rd high points in both east & west Canada with the Canadian Powerboat Assn. keeping the records. Once we put the Mark 20H conversion exhaust on them , they were well into the 60 MPH range. No one was running C-H out here at that time but I sure would have liked to see one. I am just too old for that stuff now, but I never forget those great years. All the best Ken
