Nope—- that was Marks boat, not mine !

[jackiewilson]

Dammit—- I have to tell you lot there—- you’re pretty bloody slow and not very observant.
Or maybe it’s me—too damn clever for my own good ( that’s what my sainted mother used to tell me).

We all thought you only arsked the question to Rotary John...That is why we are all holding back with the answer.........Is it to do with the Mk 1 Ford Escort in the background? perhaps you were hiding behind it at the time��

C’mon TT you’re getting too smart —— look simple—— I’m a straight forward ordinary human bean !
It was a simple question ——- nothing smart, trick, or complicated ?

[FUJIMO]

...oooo...oooo…oooo...I know, I know! they both are ''color'' photo's...not just black & white anymore...? yes? no?

[FUJIMO]

...ummmm...they both have champion stickers on them????? yes? no? maybe?

I regret that some members appear not to be taking Jay Dubbya’s post with the diligence it deserves. Please bear in mind the naughty step has plenty of room at the moment. Obviously the answer “lays in the soil”.....

i'm on pin and needles.

[jackiewilson]

And you call Yourselves “Experts” ? —— —- I know from meeting you all over the last ten years, at the Old Farts, and knowing most of you all my racing life, that your collective knowledge on anything to do with powerboats, is second to none!
In fact, I will go so far as to say, that nine out of ten of you, know the answer !

[jackiewilson]

i'm on pin and needles. There was me thinking you were smart Fuji !

there was me thinking you were smart Fuji!

Not the answer you are looking for...but both are Hodges.

[jackiewilson]

Not the answer you are looking for...but both are Hodges.

Why would that NOT be the answer ?—— they were both built by Chris Hodges !!!
Told you right from the off, it was a simple question, nothing trick or complicated——- .
Mark bought a total of five “Hodges”——- 1 Burgess—— 1 Molinari —— 2 Seebolds——- Always said the best boat he ever had was the little sprint Seebold.
Biggest DOG he ever bought was the Molinari—. Quick but unpredictable — Bertie Wik thought he could
make it work——- got all out of shape at Bristol—— ran into the wall and totalled it.
