Is the October 2007 issue available? I think there was an article on the Lavey 24 according to an index I found. Thanks!

My wife was cleaning out a closet and ran across an XXL Hotboat shirt that was never worn.

Don’t even know how I got an XXL as I’ve never worn that size, but tried it on and it still looks like a night shirt that goes down past my butt... lol. No wonder I never wore it.

Can you please check if there’s an October 2007 article on a Lavey 24? I’m looking into buying one of these and am trying to find as much info as I can before heading out West from NJ. Would really appreciate any help, thank you!

For those of you not paying attention. This is an old thread and my stash has long been returned to storage. If I bust it out again and have a bunch of free time I'll let you know. Thanks to the guys trying to help out with their own magazines.

Yes please!!!!! it was either late 2001 or early 2002 my HTM was on the cover and they did a write up on it. I had that issue 8 or 9 years before I owned my boat and I'd love to have that article!

Do you have
Hot Boat Magazine June 1995

I'm trying to recreate at least the text of the article on Jim Cole for others to enjoy

http://dragboatfever.com/jim%20cole.htm

Unfortunately the end of the story is missing and what I have ends with:

Brendel is long since out of the game (his son Mike, a former world-record-setting
flat-bottom driver, founded Brendella Boats), and Sanger now focuses exclusively
on tournament ski boats. Cole began to seriously focus on the recreational market
in 1985 by developing a series of lake flat-bottoms and hydros designed to maximize
the potential of technology developed on the racecourse. His is the only shop of any
volume con- ………

Wow!!! Thank you so much!! I have not been on the forums much lately so I just saw this. That’s really cool of you. I know this is an old thread, I tried so hard to find a model closest to my 210 Open Bow with B1 out drive and a merc racing 377 scorpion. Being a spaz that I am I gave you a jet boat reference issue. I am really sorry. I’m curious if you have put them all away and if not I’d like to continue to try to find the right issue from between 99 and say 2003 that has something close to my set up.( 2000 - 210 BR with 377 blue scorpion 377 hp I believe) I am offering gladly to pay say 100 bucks for an issue that is close to mine. I’d be over the moon if they tested a blue scorpion. I appreciate your willingness to take the time already for a stranger. So thank you

but my offer is good if u have free time and have a mag that’s got something close. I would like to own a copy for sentiment.

If you know the month and year (and I have it) I'll hook you up.


Maybe some inmate can help - in one edition there were two of the same Cole hulls one with an I/O the other with a V drive - both sporting an identical turbocharged power plants.

It was eye opening the efficiency difference below and above 100MPH in terms of measured boost to attain said speed.

The trimmable I/O ruled the lower range and the V the upper.

There were absolutely huge difference between the two .

Id pay money to get a reprint of that.

Man o man, I love looking through old magazines and finding out the history of different boats, cars and all kinds of stuff. Some of the old Popular Mechanics magazines are the best.
