New Addition to the Fleet!

[IRRebel]

Heres some more detailed pics of the '75 20' Sleek SST V-Bottom I just scored. Not perfect, but beautiful considering it's all original gel, interior, recent pump and engine rebuild. Only one real bad "Dock rash" (More like gouges) section on the deck. The rest should color sand out very nicely. Spent it's entire life in one garage! We've started calling it the "Loogie", but I'm sure we can come up with something better.

Dooley Pan was a nice bonus, as was the Holley Red Electric pump and the Roger Finney splash guard. But a great deal on it. 454 .030 over, Berk JB-A pump, 4 pt mounts.

The bad? well new steering and F/R cables are needed, PLace Diverter will be among the first upgrades, obviously those gouges need fixin and a good color sand. The rest I'll leave alone until it's too damn cold to run it no more, then out comes the engine for some SERIOUS upgrades!

Tom, I KNOW I got a nudder big bill comin! Tell Rhonda she can start shopping for some new dresses.....................

Can't, lol. As much as I planned on doing just that, as soon as I bought it, Unc called to borrow it for some relatives in from Ohio. I didn't think it prudent to send him off with the Moo! I DID, however, print up a waiver that he owes me a new one if this one explodes, burns and sinks......I have a history with relatives and my boats! :rolleyes:

Ray

But Oh what I got planned for this lil booger! Skip knows, lol as does Nordie, probably.

Not a dirt fight, I think the neighbors were mudslinging at my house for bringing home another goddam boat! :champagne:

Ray

I have a strong feeling my Aunt is going to succeed in making my Uncle buy it from me, lol. She's in love with it!

[IRRebel]

Nice Ray !congratulations !

Thanks Tom! Gonna be hitting you up for new steering cables, F/R cable and a PD unit for this one as soon as I can pry my Aunt's death grip off the thing! (She's trying to get Unc to try and buy it, lol) :champagne:

That's a cool boat! and I give two thumbs up for the name!! :thumbsup:thumbsup

Thanks! Gonna be a lot of fun for me building this one this winter! All the parts I want to do to it are here, pretty clean machine, should be a very fun build! Making a Drag boat a Drag boat! (Or at least look like, and act kinda like, one). Tom at JBP has been such an inspiration to "Go Big or Go Home" or sumpin like that, lol.

Some of you are privy to the hardware I want to put on this thing, and I think I can make it work, we'll see. For now, we'll see how my family makes out with it this weekend to know where I'm at as a atarting point.

Gonna be kinda sad to see that the Moo boat might well be the most docile thing I own, which is scarey in and of itself!

The name? Well, The Moo (Udder Nonsense) was named through popular vote on the web (My suggestion, but still, needed the reinforcement). NBoone thought I'd contract it actually done, however, and I DID!

This one, am open to suggestions, so fire away! I WILL follow through, lol.
