Carnation Michael Nesmith's Drag Boat Sold For $7,000 On Craigslist

   Carnation Michael Nesmith's Drag Boat 
    Dean Jeffries designed Carnation in 1967.
  It was Michael Nesmith's Drag Boat with a
  wooden front, you can see in the picture.
  Engine is a Pontiac with two carburetors on
  a manifold with diagonal carburetors, set up
  There are two scoops mounted on top of
  the four barrel carburetors with screens in 
  front of the scoops. A Ray Craft Flat Bottom
  Boat from 1967 was what Dean Jeffries used,
  to customize Carnation, Michael Nesmith's
  Drag Boat.
   A man from San Francisco bought the drag
 boat in 2013, hoping to restore it. He put it on
 Craigslist and sold in 2015 for $7,000 in the
 Marina of San Francisco. Here is how the
 drag boat was originally with Dean Jeffries
 and Michael Nesmith and a Pontiac 389 CID
 for power with those cool twin carburetors and
 scoops with screens.
