The skiff was always set up a riverboat and was first owned by Dave Hoffman who used it on the Magothy River and around Annapolis, MD. Over the years there were a couple of engines used with the last setup being a 350 using a 671 blower, dart heads, a pair of 650 cfm carbs and output through a Casale Z drive.  Due to improper winterization the block cracked and the boat was sold to me in the summer of 2003 without an engine.  Ken Germershausen once told me that it was one of the fastest skiffs he had ever driven.  The boat is all original, has never been painted and is still in very nice shape. Over the winter of 2004 it was re powered with a 350 - 330 hp crate engine and a Velvet Drive transmission.  Blu' Fusion can be found zipping around Canandaigua Lake in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York.
