I've got an archive of Mako Shark II
photos that I have saved, but I beleive
there all photos that you can find on
the net. However, I am very interested
in all the info you can send my way.

I am starving for new material to view
about the Original Mako Shark II.

I need all the photos and info about the
original specs that I can get my greasy
little paws on.

If you'd like, just say the word and I'll
send you my full archive of photos. Im sure
however that yours will be more impressive
due to most of them haven't been put on
the net.

You can email me all the info and photos
you have.

Thanks
