I have the DOE and could probably scare up a pair ox XS motors with SSM's

No engine on it now. Trying to decide whether to put a 260/champ mid/IV Speedmaster on it for GO or a pair of 1500XS's on it for SHOW, or just sell it and take the DOE.

Bruster, you would love that thing. I would sure hate to see you sell it Norris, dunno if there is another factory comp out there as nice as that one.

Which I had more pix, my old XS150 Switzer..circa77. Multi color Flake. If ya look REAL close the first pic, ya might be able to tell! And my crazy bud Jimmy..he would ride back there drinking beer, the way home from the lake! Cops laughed at that time...good old days!

Here is my newest metalflake'd acquisition...

what most of it looks like...


and what it looks like with just a little bit o elbow grease and my friend makita.



(Yes I know, its impossible to take good pictures of flake at night)

[Robby321]

Yep...just needs a "makita" buff! Still like a good looking buffed right Flake boat!. The right sunlight, they looked super! Sparkle the brain silly!
After that, came the weird "stripes"..never cared much them, but then new painted "graphics" came along, and some ya now, tossing a "wrap" on, computer generated.....too damn nice.

One of the original metalflake boats.

Still need to comment here, that Carlson tunnel. SUPER PIC! And had an XS, the only thing I wish, the Carlson was red, to match the motor graphics. Red silver flake, black seats..(ya know, hot, my XS/Switzer was.."TOSS A TOWEL, on the seats, in the bar, or OUCH!".. Again, great pic!

Selling that boat is not something I'm proud of, but it went to a good home. That boat weighs less than 400lbs and has seen very little use in its 23 yrs. Norris I'd like to see you set it up to top Wayne's big mph from the 70's. I know that boat will do it.

i dont think you realize how close that vector was to gettin an OMC hung on it

that boat was so much fun to drive i didnt even want to get back in the mirage

[Darkside's Calling]

My '80 Tahiti 18 ST has Silver and Red circus flake (the big stuff like the bass boats), no pic's of it in flake as it was painted just before I got it, so no idea what the layout is... I'm tempted to start stripping the paint to see what it looks like though.

here's a shot showing the flake that I can see anyway:

and I wonder if the pattern is the same on the deck, with red under the blue and silver under the burgandy... the white is factory gel still:

Lots of really sweet looking flake boats in these pages. One thing I HAVEN'T seen however is the, ever-so-elusive, green flake 'streams I've heard rumors about. I think I remember seeing a shot of one a long time ago on hydrostream.org but I could be mistaken. Has anyone here owned, or have a good quality shot of one?
