Not the first time I had heard about a V-drive Vector being a spinner. My uncle originally built the burgundy one in the late 90's and it was, and I quote "diabolical." Too bad, I love vectors.

I’ve heard it’s a drivers boat.

It’s a miracle. It’s useable after 5 years of torture and fucked up shops! Just need to get the bugs worked out!

Coon Toss is just one of those boats that everything is just right, not flashy but bitchen at every angle. The Mr Mgoo Craker is also a bad machine, Mr Moody and Mr Patterson built a killer cracker and that thing is beautiful as well. Ken Myers (B&K Boats did the glass/wood/paint) i have seen it so many times at the shop back when Ken was still alive and I just loved looking at it. Kinda got emotional thinking about that boat and Ken...

Which Mr. Magoo came first, the Cracker or the Vector? Someone's gotta be first! :)

The Baddest Vector of them all possibly?
Bitchen to use a 727 shorty! When I worked at Art Carr we made even shorter versions. They were awesome, billet tail housing plate with full bearing support instead of bushings. It was a three speed that was shorter than a powerglide...

I like that. I also like green and white one that was for sale a couple years ago. Similar set up with the drive.
It’s cruising around Havasu and Parker these days. I have seen it a few times already

Not off the top of my head but I'll keep a lookout for it as I browse the internet pilfering pix to post here.:)

That lines up with what I thought, I first met Joe at the outriders picnic the year before he sold it. I tried like hell to buy just couldn't swing it at the time.
Ardy shoulda bought it and he wouldn't need to be looking for a race boat today.

300r isn’t cheap, adrenaline trailer, what is costs now days. If you want a sea horse ad another 100 lol
You missed two great mornings of skiing while home riding your dinosaur. My brother is filling in for you on Thursday. :)

only saw two other boats on the water. Gebhart and Baker skied earlier for the best water we had to deal with sloppy seconds.
