the dash in my 66 18' silouette has a very slight curve.
on a side note i took the truck and boat to the all truck nationals in kc and the editor of CLASSIC CUSTOM TRUCKS made up the "best work(in) truck" for me. im pretty excited as neither my truck or boat are show vehicles. truck is a 67 c-10 with a 2001 gmc 5.3, 4l60e and plenty of other goodies, and is my only source of land transportation.

Ok, I'm sure it is a Stevens as Stevens did have that type rail. Notice the top left and the 2nd from top left on this ad Spike posted before. All show the lip. The dash could have been modified or just the style of the year.

SnoC653,
The make doesn't really matter I don't think, what matters is that you dig it and you have fun with your hot inboard. It would be cool to have a gallery of every hot flatbottom and hydro make that was available back in the sixties....there were so many. Sitting on the dock at the Thunderbird Lodge on the river(Parker, in the sixties), it seems I saw most all at one time or another. I have a favorite reoccuring dream where they're all back again.
The girls are a blur, but I remember the boats...I'm starting to drool....Last edited by Spike Morelli; 09-15-2009 at 10:36 PM.

Just thought I'd share this with you......It's my old Hallett circle boat,I restored, originally powered by a 427 Ford Medium riser.
If you look close at the photo underway, you can see the reflection in the belhousing of my brother driving while I am turned around in the passenger seat taking the picture( well, It's not real easy to make out unless you blow it up)

That's a nice job you did on the old racer. I'm sure mine is a Stevens now. Someone posted a pic of a 71 on the other site and it had the exact same lip around the back and the flat bottom to the dash. I'm sure it's probably a small thing they changed to make the boats look different, or an option they added if the purchaser asked for it. In any case, the boat is going back together the way it ran back in the day. 427 Chevy, mid deck, and no back seats. The only thing I'm changing is is the strut will be steel instead of bronze (still will be a 7*) and I'm going to add a foot over ride for the cav plates. And if I can find one for the old top loader, I'll add a whirl-away. It will be more of a remember the good ol days boat, rather than a serious race boat. I hope it turns out as nice as yours.

Chevy60,
It looks like your brother has a 17' Silhouette. Those hulls were real popular not only as ski boats, but did well as SK racers. It always does my heart good to see another one that has survived the years, and one whose owner(s) have resisted painting over the factory metalflake and target design. Right on!

Thanks
We actually race in the northwest, about six to eight races ,but made the trip to Burley Id. for their big APBA meet on the snake river under nostalgia flats. was a great trip. Wish we could afford to race down South.

Pancho,
How's things going with your flatbottom. I guess you probably finished the stringers by now. Spike

Talk about shaking a tree limb to see what falls out!...How are you Spike?....Stringers and bottom work done in the summer and put it together to shake it down not happy. Sent the carbs out, ordered new MSD system. All new cav plate controls minus the plate itself being done on CNC this boat is so heavy it breaks the weak stuff. The economy is kicking my Ass and we have two feet of snow on the ground. Spent the last 6 mos. in Dutch Harbor just paying the bills. Did i see TOO MUCH up for sale?.... Hope things are well and all the best to you and yours.
