ran across these

That Vector is really sharp. Like the combo of classic graphics with some unique color mix. Looks like a v-drive. That Schiada engine mount location looks very forward from transom. Looks like it was set up for racing. Do you know where the Hallett and Schiada are now? Just curious, would love to see how they look now.

early Parker ????

that pictures about mid 90's, I have some pictures that I will try to scan that show The Rock Palace aka 'jim kidds' under construction the bar that , the flood of 83 took out , that is when they had to open the spill gates on the dam and the river rose and caused all the damage.. Does any one remember the water slide on the hill in the same area? also, Opening weekend at the Rock Palace Memorial weekend approx 1980 they had Iron Butterfly as the head line band. 'geez i'm old' p.s my brother still has his place there since 76 and now lives there full time

I got a very nice welcome PM from rrr this afternoon and can't reply to it until I have five posts so I'm taking the easy way out. :D (Hey it's my day off and I'm lazy.)

This is from the late 90s while I was sanding my hot rod getting it ready for paint.

Great pictures. When I was younger my parents used to take me to Pine Flats. I remember playing pinball at a lodge there. If my memory serves me right I think it was called Monks. Great times and memories.

Don't forget Bad Company playing on the juke box. Building little dams on the springs that would pop up and collecting enough water to break the other kids dams . Seeing how many times you could ski around the dam cove. Good times:thumbup:
