Any idea how many diffrrent versions of the pipes were built?

Dave

There appear to be at least 3 types not sold to the public ... there were probably many more that were not photographed.

Pipes like these that were sold to the public came like this, with water injection and with shorter rear cones.

Shouldn't the back of the decal have said "Super" on this 1969 BP?

Looks like Jimmy Cash on the left. If so, is that his brother Joe Cash on the right? I think sister Manuela Cash was Miss Florida one year.

FUJIMO - One of these days you want to let us all in on the big secret as to who you are or who your source of photos is? You must have or be someone on the inside to have access to some of the historic stuff that is probably from the files in the Merc or KAM photo files? I like some of the other sites I am on where we actually use our names - I'm not hiding anything.

FUJIMO - One of these days you want to let us all in on the big secret as to who your source of photos is? You must have or be someone on the inside to have access to some of the historic stuff that is probably from the files in the Merc or KAM photo files?
Well Bernie...I just guess you don't remember? You snuck it all out of Mercury for me, when you left. Thanks again. :eek: :thumbsup:

Well, if I did that was ten years ago already! I don't really remember what I had for breakfast! Give me a couple of really easy simple clues!!! I know JFL is wondering also.

I would like to recognize 'George Thompson': George had worked for Mr. K since the Mexican Road Race days, and over the years had raced nearly every kind of boat. George rigged this boat, the second 36' Cigarette--up on the 'Ledge'---towed it to KW with a half ton Chevy--it had never been in the water---we finished rigging it in the parking lot--and we won it's first race!!! Thanks George!!!---RIP

I put this up on FB--this for you that never go there;)

I'd like to thank 'FUJIMO' for putting all this history in one place---we may never know who you are!!!!:nonod:

I can only imagine the rigging and driving anecdotes about this boat and other multi outboard rigs of this day. Anyone have any good stories or details to share?

Bingo on the watch Bernie. Agreed on 7 engine stylist, BUT...Don't know if you have "any" LS engine series experience Bernie, in a car(or boat)...they are incredible performing engines, no matter what generation you choose. There is an infamous Hot Rod Magazine article utilizing a high mileage junk yard, cast iron 5.3 litre, which they turbocharged & dynoed for the article. The article is about 3 years old. The numbers they sustained were unimaginable. When they were finished, and were tearing the motor down, they discovered that what they had actually bought for the test, by mistake, was only a 4.8 litre. Look it up.
