Here's my old Bob Long piece !!!!!

Later to become ss80 then K5
nice ride,bob long raced many boats and had good days and bad days as all did trying to turn a daytona sprint (it was a beismier splash as many did with A 3 degree bottom and when learned handled very well) Bob long raced many other owners boats and again had good days and bad. IF you ever have the time look up the Hobbit and dark side of the moon back in the mid 80's and that will tell a story that goes to far back to remember for me. And just for the record Bob Long was a friend of mine and we both had shops within 1 mile of eachother and I did by boats from him without any regrets.
that's a great looking splash! yes the mini daycruiser is 19' v-drive 466 ford velvet drive 1:1 going thru a c-500,don't know what gears,and haven't checked the three blade pitch yet.I personally think it is a great looking boat.
OK wait .... according to Bob Long, who I met at his Sundown Marine in Huntington Beach CA in the early '80s, the 18 foot Daytona Sprints like the one in the picture, came from the original Biesemeyer mold that Bob owned. What he did not own was the name. I owned a 77 Biesemeyer and that 83 Daytona at the same time, and they were the same inch for inch. The strut, the strakes, the rocker. Bergeron would know for sure. He made the struts in both boats. Now I have been mistaken in the past, but as far as I know, the 18 foot Daytona was from the same mold as the early Biesemeyer, not a splash.
thanks for the info.
Did not mean to insult or cause offense. Bob did by an old beismeyer mold and fabricated his daytona of that mold, thats why I said splash. Great turning and handling boat whatever It was. If I ruffled feathers sorry. Mark
That's cool. Nothing ruffled.
that's why i posted over here,cause i knew you guys knew what you were talking about!. this boat is from the west coast,and i need info on it. v-drive daycruisers are few in numbers over here in texas.there are a couple guys over here that are knowledgable like garry snow who put the boat back together at one point.but not a lot of guys who know history like you guys,thanks for all the help.
