30 years ago I knew where the molds were, we had them at Advantage. A potato farmer from Idaho owned them and he wanted a new hull built so we did one for him that winter. Fun project and lots of guys got wind of it and swung by to see not only the boat but the molds. It was a 3 piece mold which was kinda cool to get close to, very old school.

"....he sez "it's mine for now,.....I bought it yesterday,....WITH YOUR INHERITANCE !.......................I miss my Dad,............

It's quite apparent what happened to the flats this weekend, the Jet Boaters took over Parker!

Nothing wrong with that either , nice to see headers on the strip on a weekend . Be it a flat or a jet .
Doesn't happen very often .

The second picture is in front of my buddies VW shop PowerHaus. He is across from Hot Rod Shop.

Blown flatbottom with dry headers. Something I’ve always tried to keep in mind whenever I do an “early” start-up[emoji51]. It never seems to be before 7:30ish but that might change.

Interested in some feedback especially from riverfront property owners.
Cheers!

After the Geritol breakfast shake you should install them hearing aids so you can hear your phone. Thst is if you remeber where you put it last!

Two things:
When the motor was being built, it was built with a cam that likes a little more collector than zoomies.

The zoomies were a little close to the gunnel/paint for my liking at this point.

After I get them ceramic coated, I’ll be a little more comfortable with them being that close to the paint. Or maybe I’ll just keep em in the rafters. Someday we’ll see. [emoji1303]

Thanks for the pictures Wheeler! May not make it tomorrow morning. It tried to suck a duck through the injector. Kinda sucks. I swerved to about it hitting my head but it hit the hat square. I gotta see if there’s anything left in it. I got GoPro footage of it [emoji1304]

My headers would make the gel coat so hot you couldn't touch it when I test fired. Had Cermakrome Coating applied now you do not feel the heat on the boat.

 

[wsuwrhr]

That's why its called a bird catcher.

Only if they are water injected.
