Scootney Report: 1969 Hallet long deck with 585 dyno-horsepower blew away the circle boat competition by half a lap! So much for close racing! I blew up my {safety first} whirlaway and split my split case in another direction while chasing the former K boat! I'm done for the year, but the Nostalgic Circle Boats arent! Three more rookies with a 71 gull Hondo, 1965 Wickens long deck, and a 1976 Lavey trunk model competed for the first time. I still cant post pictures but you can see the the fastest 2nd place winner in the ski-boat class at: www.raysoncraftboats.com. Its the one named OURX numbered, A9. These are its restoration pictures and Ray has got this thing 'hauling glass'! Andy got his first First place heat and was promptly escorted to the water to cool his britches!!! This 1963 {heavy} flat was pulling away from the rest IN THE CORNERS! After each day of racing they water skied for 3 hours! It has a 429 Super Cobra Jet with l.00 gears and a THREE blade prop! That's right, 1 to 1 gearing! Picture that folks. The hull must weigh in at 2500 pounds! The class winner was a newer 71 Rayson craft that had some tuning help from Ray Defir also so it was a Rayson sweep in the Ski Class! Next race is Entiat Wa. Aug 3-4 with double points and I expect over 14 boats to time in on Saturday. Hope no one is bored by these reports or I'll stop wasting my boat repairing time. If you want more info contact me or the BlondeBombshell or Boatguy222. The jerkster is drydocked so I'll use my breakfast bagle like a steering wheel and simulate hard left corners while mashing on the linoleum with my left shoe while my faithful wife spashes dishwater on my face! Circle Jerk ps thanks Kieth for the insiration and we missed your Montana flats!
