Well the 2 seater seebold got destroyed!

[PARKER RABE]

Hauling ass trimmed out ......u better know what your doing geting into a full tunnelboat! Whole different worls than something with a center pod!!!

[PARKER RABE]

boat did a complete 360 , boat was realling hauling ass when it went over!!!!!!!

[1BadAction]

boat was realling hauling ass when it went over!!!!!!!
Isn't that always the case. lol. Glad he was ok, sucks about the boat.

[Instigator]

One of my racing partners used to say about true tunnel boats: "there are drivers that have blown one over and there are drivers that are going to".

[specboatops]

That sucks, who owns it now? When did you sell it, thought you still had it.... Glad he is ok from the sound of things.

[300x Stoker]

You can see in that pic where he had the trim!!! WTH???

[Mr. Demeanor]

You can see in that pic where he had the trim!!! WTH???

Yikes! Maybe stuck trim switch?

[whipper]

I like hookers.:D

[tb2054]

that's too bad glad drivers ok !!!!sucks the boat made it all this time,,oh well like he said

[scawd the dog]

AWE man!! Not good.

[PARKER RABE]

I sold the boat about 6 months ago in order to drive a true tunnel but you need a lot of seat time in the boats are not very forgiving compared to a boat with a center pod you cannot jump right in one and think you're on top of the world because that's a perfect example of what can happen

[Dave Strong]

That sucks, glad he is OK.

[B.loco60]

Was that the inline seating boat from the IOGP days? Wonder if the side by side is still around, had a ride in it at the Naples race with Shubert at the wheel. Fun time.
Sorry to see that get wrecked.

Hey Parker I'm glad to see it wasn't you hope the guy is alright. I saw you drive that boat at OFF man you could drive that thing.:thumbsup:

Wow that hit hard! Glad he was OK.
At those speeds not much room for an error! Things could and will go bad very quickly.

[PARKER RABE]

and they did , the video is on facebook of the crash ,i dont know how to post it over here.

[Krazymaan]

That had to be a crazy five seconds.

[Robby321]

Parker? I'll look FB let Dave comment it and I'll see it. Maybe I can copy and post. But have to say when ya get in a enclosed boat like that, there's NO wind in the face, little if NONE speed recognition ..(not the speddo but AIR under the hull)!...or much motor noise too think of just what attitude ya are. Hate to see the boat trashed, but ANY boat is a "slow learning, feel it out, LEARN UP THE BOAT" and baby step to speed...OR?

Robby that boat is for an experienced driver with a gift that has the "Feel" Parker has it others don't. You have to know your limits. Yes conditions come into play but that's where experience is your friend.

Dave

[PARKER RABE]

you just cant compare it to a center pod boat , theres no warning if a blow over by the time the bow lifts u get out of the throttle and it dumps the rear and your DONE. a center pod boat will come back down........with a tru tunnel u need to feel where u are at all times , by the time you read that wind gust 200 feet a head of u, u better be trimmed before u get into it, or its OVER, where a center pod boat u can wait till u get into the gust then re trim the boat theres a very fine line you run with a true F1 boat , the only way to teach someone would be to put them in the back of the 2 seater and make examples....LOL. guess we cant do that anymore. im glad jamies ok because he could have been killed. if i could of spent 3 days at the lake together training him, that accident would not of happend , i feel bad about that. hes a great guy. i was shocked to see the pictures.

Don't laugh too hard it, as he wanted to buy it, but way too much dough. We talked, emailed about it as if bought, have it shipped from AK to me and store it until transport back FL. Of course, key or not (I can hot wire anything, as 36 inch bolt cutters that will defeat any lock trailer, or drag out the "Red and Green)...and would HAVE TO GET IT WET here my launch! How far hours away you to me? Its 4 hours border to me, so ya slide down here and WE do the rums and cokes and "sea trial it"! Damn, JUST HAVE THAT SIT MY YARD would have EVERY neighbors over here as "WTF ya doing now"? "HA.."living large"!

Also to Parker. Ya SOB! NEVER forget our phone talks when ya were going thru some lifes problems. Won't get into it here, but seems ya came out (kinda, just behave) into the light and now seem happy, and still boats, hot rods, as bikes? And new wife? New life friend. "rock it"! OR? Have my muscled Nephew see ya from Tampa! Wish the best Fukstic.."onward thru the fog"....."Have you seen the light"

I believe its the two seater Bill Seabold use to take people for rides in. Not real sure of history just what I heard.

Yep! But if a decent cost? Have it shipped down here, (pick up Dave on the way), and take a vacation PNW us! Bring the bride out here as I got room for ya all. Then, we launch the ramp here, you drive, show me what to do, then switch seats and show ya age, fearless, experience what ya SHOULD do! But I need alcohol for courage (AC DC on headphones "Thunderstruck") and we can stuff Dave in the back to mix drinks. Then go out in the bay and piss off the tree hugger Kayak idiots. As the stupid on paddle boards, no life jacket and out in the middle the bay with LOTS TRAFFIC, wakes, etc. Darwin award in the making...

Back in1975 my buddy bought Rick Adamzacks first racing tunnel.Sorry for mis-spelling his name. Rick was winning races with the boat but built a newer style. The one my buddy bough was 4 pointer. Rick was using a 150 shorty. We put on a 135 short with a ssm. Rick told us the run it trimmed in. Well my buddy was king of the bay for 2 days. On the third day he stood it straight up. Up and over.

Looks like the original Seebold 2 seater... much cooler than the front to back.

[PARKER RABE]

much cooler but much slower, u got to have a shhit load of horsepower on one to get it not to hop and porpoise, i drove the bud light 2 seater and almost pulled the trigger and bought it before it went to Alaska. with 2 adults up front all the thing wanted to do is bounce with a stock motor 2.5 , if u put a 360 hp powerhead on it there was enuff hp to get it out of that stage and it would hold the bow up finally and haul ass....mine the inline boat ran great , with the 2 people inline it let the boat run more loose and it ran more like a single seater. it would hop aroung 80 and i would drive it right thru it, i had a killer powerhead on it.......if you see the video of the boat blowing over its just plain out hauling asssssss, i had it set up right! google my name and watch me running it at the suwannee! that boat would blow the doors off the side by side boat!

[Noah Burns]

nah, I'm good...

The motor was originally built by Fairchild when I got it I took it all apart and put new Pistons rings and bearings in it had some nice Port work done intake spacer motor really ran great I could pull an 18 right up near 8000

Was Jamie not strapped in the boat? sounds like some serious injuries for a boat that's safer than 99% of them

In the 90's I THOUGHT I was buying that boat from Mercury. It was at Lake X and I'd been talking with somebody in Wisconsin............ can't remember who. Anyway, we make the 6 hour trip down and the boat is cool, but they spring on me the powerhead isn't included. I called back up there and they said that the price didn't include the injected powerhead on it, but they'd throw in a carb one if I wanted it. We couldn't get together, so I came home. Back then the boat was white, but had blue and yellow trim on it, with a little bit of pink around the zig zag stripe. I've still got a picture of it painted that way somewhere.

He was in trouble before the boat even took off. Here is a lesson kids, I got smoked in one of my hydrostreams and every boat from there on out had an bright LED in line of sight that any time the trim motor has power applied to it it is lit.

[Ally101]

I waterjeted a piece for each side of mid on my seebold that went over the pin and wouldn't let it over trim period.I ran it to the stop every pass

I had a racer bring me a boat with the same amount of damage in 1991, and I was able to repair it. In fact the boat is still running on the Vintage circuit.
