Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

It was run like that at the lake also. I remember being there on another project and seeing this thing running around. The first thing I noticed was the sound. It was like no other outboard I had heard before. When I got down by the water and it came by, all I could see was a boat with this box made of wood over where the engine was mounted. I asked about it, but no one would even say if it was a outboard or stern drive. All I could get out of anyone was it was something new.

So, what do you think Jim---------we leave it naked as per original?

The American Indian known as Winnebago. Winnebago means "stinky water" and I can tell you that when Lake Winnebago turns green during the Dog Days of August, "stinky water" is quite accurate!

William,I knew you were a powerboat and outboard historian----but American indian history and folklore--------suddenly there's a new found unexpected respect blossoming.

OK Willa ------if you're so bloody smart ----WHAT TRIBE WAS PRUETT.?
He always claimed he was SEMINOLE---Florida swamp indian.
Serra reckons he was the last of the Sarasota garbage collector tribe-------now totally extinct.
My money says he was "Crow".
He was known all over Europe as PRUETT. FBI---would have made a great TV series.

Guy up at Chasewater by the name of Jock Geddes used to run PALLADIN---GIVE GUN WILL TRAVEL, my young brother "Nipper" bought it, 13' Blue Fin, with a 50 Merc.

Was just trying to add a little culture to "Tricks" ....

No idea what in the world Billy Don came from, all I know is that there was only one of whatever he was! Do I assume FBI was supposed to mean Full Blooded Indian? I think I remember something about that name.

You and I both know I don't do "Culture " William, you also can take your nose out of the clouds and cease to ASSUME---------and never for one goddam secundo did you think the meaning was "Full blooded indian"-------------------THINK AGAIN!

I think Billy Don was from Texas and a Google search reveals that about 7 Native American tribes were relocated to that State in the 19th century, in addition to 15 other indigenous tribes that were there to begin with. So Mr. Pruett could lay claim to just about any tribe in American History with the possible exception of P Diddy's "Posse". One more thing...Seminole was NOT one of the tribes, but Commanche and Apache were.....

I believe that even in Wackoff, New Jersey the using of "that were there to begin with" after the word "indigenous" would be considered redundant (more culture Jackie) .....
