I am putting my 71 jet boat back together with my 540 cu blown Chevy.... and was remembering the days when my dad would chase down jet boats, or he would get chased by people wanting to race...they would "taunt" my dad to come and race!!
I remember him making that walk down the beach to the boat, fire it up with those water logs sounding oh so cool...it must have been the flappers!!!!
AS AN 8 YEAR OLD BOY THERE WAS NOTHING MORE FUN THAN WATCHING YOUR DAD RACING DOWN THE RIVER AT A BLISTERING 55-60 MPH THINKING THAT OUR BOAT WAS THE KING OF THE RIVER....
EveryoneÂ’s boats in those days were stock...unless they had one of those big tunnel rams and over the transom headers, We wouldnÂ’t want to contend with them because they looked..."TOOO FAST"!!!
I miss those days....
Does this happen anymoreÂ…good old fashion river racing at dusk????:D :D :D
