http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee81/156champ/2004mtdora_dancingbear1.jpgI don't know what kind of boat this is
I found this picture in the past events section of The Vintage Hydros Web site

[flatties forever]

It's not an open bow, it's got a rumble seat-- in front... How cool is that!!!!
Ridin' in that seat would be a kick with the hemi wound up to about 6 grand. Kinda like the Toyota commercial with the fly by wire seat chasing the Cup cars around the track.
What a view!! Without smacking the wall at turn 1, I mean...

there are other pictures of this boat at other events where he was doing just that, giving rides, that first picture shows a young kid sitting up front -he'll probably be posting on HB some day! To me the boat looks @ least 21 ft long

[boat 569]

That boat was originally an F service runabout. When I was a kid my dad raced super stocks, and I used to see the dancing bear at all the races. It was one of my favorites. I believe the guy that owns it is the son of the guy that raced it. The rumble seat in the front used to be a cargo hold like the jersey speed skiffs. It is used to give rides now. I went to an antique boat show awhile back and there was dancing bear sitting in the water. It blew my mind. It looks just like I remember it from 30 years ago.

Thanks for the info 569! neat to see good old boats like the Dancing Bear keep on keepin- on I bet the Bear burns up a good bit of petrol during a day of rides

Curt Brayer built that Dancing Bear in '65, from his own design. :)
