My 66 Sanger / Nailhead for power
Needs a lil work:eek
Nice boat :thumbsup
535 # looks like the hondo t-deck out of washington
Has anyone seen this boat? Long story short it was in my family, found it once by mouzer couldn't grab it then. Went to Canada, guy destroyed it in my opinion but to each their own. He put it up on Drag Boat City but wanted way too much for it. I'm not sure where it went after that. Would like to locate it. Not sure if it stayed in Canada or came back to the states.

...Unfortunately due to cervical spine issues and old age they now are all for sale...
I like the sanger. Would be a good big river boat to okay with down there. [emoji106][emoji202]
... if I'm not mistaken you are somewhere in Oklahoma...the Hallett has been to Oklahoma...towed it from Norcal to Harrah Oklahoma to my girlfriends horse ranch and the plan was we were going to go flat bottoming over the summer...but I think you know how relationships go...The flatbottoming never happened...you would think we knew better after having lived together three times over 30 period...lol...
I am sometimes in Oklahoma , yes. Harrah is jus down the road about 20 min.....
Yes again in relationships. Lol. [emoji202]
join the club willie...im 57 fat and have 3 ruptured and herniated disc in lower back from being a truck driver for 30 yrs..drs said something as common as a sneeze wrong and i will walk crawl or come by ambulance if i didnt have surgery that was in 2009...living on a prayer there..never had the surgery been living on pain pills sleepin pills and anti depresents...whem i get dragged down there i will have the surgery done......im suppose to b boatless also...........:grumble::grumble::eek
...funny how when in Oklahoma distances are never given in miles...they're given in minutes or hours...when I asked my girlfriend how far it was to the Firelake grand casino she said oh about 25 minutes...
I don't think most in that state even know which way is north, let alone how many miles it would be to their destination [emoji202]
No I am not joking
... I tend to agree with you... In addition...I forget what freeway or interstate it is but I somehow got on it and soon realized that I would not be able to turn around and go back in the direction that I had originally intended for 30miles the longest 30 mile drive of my life... no offramp's for 30 miles WTF???...
1972 Schiada flatbottom. Hopefully I'll have it running before summer!! View attachment 543320

Do yourselves a favor and read the resto thread on this boat, next level in every way. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
My buddies old Stevens with nailhead power, was a little better than this when he started but not much. My old Stevens when we returned it to a hot ski boat from the wannabe drag boat I tried to make it into. My current hot rod, 2001 Canyon...2nd best thing I ever rode.
Damn Kenny,
Beautiful boats :thumbup:
Thanks Brian, can't wait to see that new project develop....I love the look of Nailheads and early Hemi's in these boats.
BTW: That name dryhose still cracks me up
Hi Kenny,
I see Edelbrock marine parts on the nailhead. Kinda rare & very cool.
Would you happen to have any pictures of the front cover ?
Do you know if he runs a mechanical fuel pump or electric?
I have Nicson & I know these front covers do not have the ability to run a mechanical fuel pump.
Thanks Kenny & hope all is well,
Brian

Hi Brian,
I used an electric fuel pump. The Edelbrock didn't have the ability to run mechanical either.
Here's a couple of pictures of the front cover, hope they help. Let me know if there's any others you want.

Good god Keith,
That's beautiful!
Thank you for posting these pictures.
Looking like it's going to be an electric fuel pump.
Thanks again,
Brian
Ps ~ Sure like that Edelbrock set up over the Nicson stuff.
I could look for years & probably not find the complete set up ..
Brian,
I may be wrong it's been a while but I'm pretty sure Keith found those parts on E-Bay etc. as the boat came with an old hemi and he is a Nailhead guy.

Here's a couple of teaser pics of our 2016 Giroux TR-2.
Not My Cole TR2, but it used to belong to my friend, and I have driven it. super fun Flat bottom, and I hope to one day own a go fast boat just like it.
A fella at Parker now owns it, and my friend has told him that if he decides to sell it, he will buy it back. I even told him when he sold it that he would regret and miss that boat. Lol! he however has a Howard flat right now, I told him if he buys the Cole back, that I would take the Howard off his hands.

Poncho, Dan Lemons had the headers coated after he built them for us by Brite Hot Coatings in Fresno (559) 233-1461 www.capsbhc.com. Thanks for the props on the boat, I'll post up a few pictures after we get all the pretty stuff done. BTW the coating is called CermaKrome.
We had Pete lay it up at 550lbs so we could use as a lake boat too however, it's primary purpose is to run TE or 9.0s. For the powerplant we replicated a Reher-Morrisson 509 Sportsman engine with a few minor changes, 1/2 a point less compression (14:1), better heads (Brodix BB2+ ported and reworked by Joey Grose, thiers were BB2+ out of the box), and a better intake (2 1050 Gen 3 Dominators on an Edelbrock Victor Ram that the boys at Grose massaged). We are just now taking it apart for powder coat and anodize and to get it more pretty on the outside. Then we get to put it all back together and go have some fun! Here's a couple more pictures.
9's ?....going to need a throttle stop to go that slow.
God I hope not, I hate detuning!:eek
