Sundancer K boat?

[CircleJerk]

That's the brand of our most recent find. Complete with wing, HD hardware, balsa floor, long deck, and a 72 INCH transom! Supposedly it was last raced by a Sonny Leonard with a blown chevy. Anyone ever hear of a Sundancer? Surely with its wide stance, it must have been stable in the turns! The owner thought it was called a 19' Tunnel Dragster model. ??The company made boats out of San Antonio Texas. :rollside:

without a pic its hard to tell but i know that sundancer made a copy of the SW tunnel draster and a copy of the 19 gullwing by youngblood. seen them both in person. i dont know the tunnel dragster ran but the gullwing was quick, fast and stable. no floor, no carpet.

He said he had but didn't remember Sonny Leonard. I asked him if they ran very well and his reply was the usual, "NOT WELL ENOUGH"!!!!. But he said they ran well enough to stay ahead of a "L" boat :eek: :hammer2: :D :D J/K

Thanks, I think.......I'm not talking about L s anymore! :frown: that 34Beisemeyer (HIKE) guy passed me up in qualifying. I suck. :cry: Wish I could go to Parker to see some real fast drivers and Nostalgia boats! :frown:

Most of the SS series guys (probably the fastest) won't be making Parker this year. The prostock GN and cracker class's will probably show up :cool: so if you can make it you'll have something cool to watch.
The big show this year will be the Phoenix IHBA dragboat finals. Top Dragboats, K's :2purples: and Superstock series final. This is the weekend before Parker so start making plans!

Jake, according to the owner, they also made an 18' flat 7/8 runner with a real flat deck, and I assume it was v-drive only. dont know for sure.
