The lake was flat, you think they were looking for a little air for the camera ????

Butch, did your son follow in your footsteps into the trucking business? Hope so. I remember him being a boat nut also years ago.

Yes, The Dummy, He Works For Me. Tried To Have Him Do Something Else, But He Wanted To Be The Third Generation In This Damned Business

Last I knew(years ago), Dave was in the boat transportation business at the G.I. Navy Base property. Whats/hows he doing these days?

YEAH, SHE NEEDS SOME WORK... I BOUGHT HER LATE THIS PAST SUMMER, GOING TO TRY AND BRING HER BACK TO HER FORMER GLORY.
LOOK FOR HER BACK IN ACTION SUMMER OF 08' IN P-5!

Congrats, keep us posted on the project.
Where will she be running?

OLSKOOL72

Thanks,

We Plan On Running P-5 With The Opa, And Maybe A Couple Races With The Sbi. We Would Have To Run P-4 With The Sbi Though. We'll Have To She How She Runs Once Dialed In This Spring. Got Her All Stripped Down Right Now, I'm In The Process Of Building Some New Fuel Tanks, And Replacing The Floor And Few Bulkheads. For Her Age, And The Action She Has Seen Over The Years, Structually, She Is In Really In Good Shape. Besides The Floor, The Rest Of The Actual "boat" Restoration Will Be Mostly Cosmetic, Exterior Paint & Fiberglass Work. The Motors That Came With Her Were Not The Race Engines, Just Some Old Crate Engines 350/300hp's. They Are Being Replaced With Two 600hp Sbc's, Built In House Here At Custom Performance Marine.
