Motion Speed Boat
 

Anyone see the short article in Hot Rod about the 1 of 3 twenty foot Motion built speed boats that a guy had GIVEN to him if he drug it out of the woods. Started cleaning it out and found Motion Emblems on it. Did some research, contacted Joel and it's the real deal and the only one Joel knows of still existing. Spent 2 years restoring it to just the way Motion sold it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

That would be bad-a$$! I think he would settle for that LS5 Wagon for sale a week back...

I dig the repop valve covers though... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

It is a shame to have such a nice piece and have the fake valve covers on it. If I am not mistaken flagship marine used the same style of finned aluminum valve covers that Motion used .regardless of Motion involvement or not. Many of the marine engine specialists of the time used this type of valve cover and placed a displacement/ brand decal in the recessed area that Motion stuck their metal emblem.
