There was a 35 bert in my marina, he had the bubble under the boat. It was installed by the previous owner. The boat was used for a lot of charters, it was used in O.C, MD and called Helen D. They renamed it Strke Force and it had 3 blade props, 320 cats with a 502 gear. It had to run 100 to 150 RPM's more than me to get the same speed. All boats seem to have a quirk or 2 different from the same design. Jimmy G's boat sits lower in the water than the boat next to it, the Ditch Digger. I think Jimmy's boat was built in the 60's and i know the Digger is a 74 model.
