[68campbell]

one of the pictures dossangers posted had a boat with number U67. What type of class was this?
I bought / still have a 68 campbell flatty that had U-011 on it. The boat had the set-up of an old racer but I would like to know more about the class history.

Thanks! Hey, have you had a chance to meet Jim Miller? He is a great guy. I already decided to buy one of his "evolution" hulls as my next boat....Actually, the last I talked to him, he was planning on moving to AZ to start building boats again.

Miller19j spent more time with him, but the time I spent with him left me with an impression of good honest hard working loyal great guy to deal with! And I LOVE those exotic wooden top boats he's making now...not sure if that's what you're talking about?

ssmike Yea I had my boat up with him a few months ago. He is a really nice guy. I think that his son is going to start building the production boats again they have a new 22.5 foot hull coming out soon. He didn’t mention anything about moving to Arizona though.
Are you going to get a Wood Deck boat from him?
Sorry Todd for Hijacking your thread.

[68campbell]

the question still stands: What type of races did the old "U" boats race in?

[MJ19]

miller19j:
Sorry Todd for Hijacking your thread. Todd,
Side Note here :) ...let's get together soon and have a drink! (I don't normally post ***** outside of the west or sandbar, so I'll chat with ya later.

Back to what 68Campbell was saying:
"one of the pictures dossangers posted had a boat with number U67. What type of class was this?

[MJ19]

Todd,
did you see the reference to the time Trav lost the lid on Triple Trouble over in the sandbar? If you didn't you'll never find it...but it was pretty funny!
Ciao

68campbell:
the question still stands: What type of races did the old "U" boats race in? Well, with circle boats, "U" stands for unlimited. As in unlimited hydros such as Miss Bud. Old U-boats were still big unlimited boats. I don't know if there is/was a "U" designation with dragboats.

[ssmike]

Miller,
Yes, I caught the wood-deck bug early in life...Here is my Dad's 69 Rayson Craft. He is the original and only owner.

I grew up with this boat. (with a lot less power.) Jim did the wood restoration/paint about 2 years ago.
I am planning to get one of the wood deck Evolution hulls in the 21-22.5 foot range. Probably with a covered motor, and room for 5.
(sorry for me actually hijacking the thread)

[miller19j]

SSMike,
I want one of those wood deck boats myself. 68 Campbell has a nice one that he is restoring and I am jealous. After I left Jim’s place the first time I was up there I wanted a wood deck boat badly. I was actually thinking about buying an old flattie hull and cutting the deck off and putting a wood one on. Someday I will give it a whirl.
That’s a beautiful boat! How is the paint job holding up? I had Jim redo my stripes below the rub rail and apparently he couldn’t match the color with gell so he used paint and I was curious how it would hold up.

Old U-boats were still big unlimited boats. I don't know if there is/was a "U" designation with dragboats. I believe that U was replaced by K in the flatbottom class in the mid-60s, APBA started to brake classes up by CIs, And really never stopped screwing thing up!

68campbell:
Brad,
I told you, help! and you can have access to a wood deck flatty Just give me a call when you need help…I am always game to work on boats.
We will have a Jet rigged in that thing in no time :D wink

ssmike SSMike, I love your dad's boat. I've always been partial to wood deck hulls and Ford powered boats... :D

[ssmike]

Yep, that is at Billy's Needles get together 2 years ago...Great times...I trying to talk the NorCal guys into making the trip this time.
It will be a little tougher for me to attend now, but we will see about getting the time off from work.

The paint looks to be holding up really well.

mj19, Classic Trouble and Triple Trouble are brothers, When travis turned the Schiada into a temprimental little toy, we figured we needed a flatty to play with.

A long time ago I told myself if I ever bought a boat I would name it “Trouble by Association”. But since I see your brother once every three years now it’s not as fitting.
