DO YOU WANT TO RUN IT ON A RACE COURSE? GET IT OUT THERE, ON THE WATER, RUN IT?! SHOW OFF YOUR RESTORATION PROJECT!?
Now is the time! Show the pride of owning, & driving your outboard powered racing boat. Show the pride of restoring & RUNNING you vintage raceboat.
YOU ARE OUT THERE!

NOW IS THE TIME TO STEP UP!

I'm putting together a list of boat owners, for a coordinated effort, to make this happen. I need your help, to make this happen. Make your voice heard!

I have a couple of Allisons that I will take to shows and fun runs. A lot of people have such boats but not sure how many would be interested in racing them. Would this be full blown racing or show/swap meet and run the boats for the fun of it?

I thought the Jones was gone??? I know he hung a couple of motors on it just for grins.

This would be for fun, non-competitive runs around the course. Exhibitions runs, so as not to encourage "racing situations" This would be just to show off your boats. It would have to be safety inspected, and you would be required to have an approved helmet, and lifejacket. So tell your friends, bring your boats, and have fun!
Thanks for your interest Mark. Please forward your contact information to [email protected] and be sure to have your friends do so, as well. It's important that I have as much information as possible.

Hey Rich,
Just have some things to do with the steering & tie bars. I need to get the boat painted, but it's there. Hope you will join with us, as it would help out alot. Is the wing ready? Just curious as to how it's going.

Hey Joe,
The Jones is now owned by someone else, but it's still here till completed. It will move to the new owner, at sometime, but we are using it to run at Vinatge Events. Then it will continue to run at Vintage Events, even after it moves out of here.

PLEASE FORWARD YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION SO THAT I CAN GET A LIST TOGETHER, AND FORWARD IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO INTERESTED PEOPLE!

THANKS!!!

that will be finished in Spring 08...one JP v-bottom (16' allison/Evinrude 140) and one S or U class tunnel (16' Seebold/Evinrude KR15M) that I would run and show at events like this.

I think you have me down already but definitely count me in!

I don't have a hull yet, still looking for one.

I need a 15'-16' tunnel and I would be running either my X115 or a KC13R.
Most likely the X115 at this point because I still need a couple of pistons for the KC13R.

Any leads on a hull or the KC pistons appreciated.

Hey Bill,
I have an idea to help you. I'll be in touch. Thanks for joining up!

Regarding email...yes I'm interested...I'll be in touch.
