Blown, what are you talking about, You rarely make any sence these days.
Rayson, i dont think that at all. I know lots of the board members were fortunate enough to get to do that stuff.Some of them are my age and were at the same races.
Are you the one who got that boat as a gift? Man, your lucky if that was you.
No, I was not lucky enough to get a boat as a gift.
But my Dad gave me a hell of a deal on it.
The boat was originally purchased by a guy my Dad went to High school with.
My Dad got the boat about 10 years ago. (in a trade for a dually).He used it maybe 5 or 6 times while he had it.
Now I have it. Its very clean and shows very little wear and tear.
My bad , some kid around here got a flat as a gift, thought that was pretty cool. Well it looks clean good luck with it.

All this B.S from a kid that was scared to death to ride in his dads southwind jet boat, and would run and hide when we started our flats. Maybe you should get out of the 80's yourself and get rid of those real attractive GEL COAT COLORS. By the way how much longer until your done with your project???. Been awhile from what i've heard, which seems weird seein as it's only jet boat. Oh yeah your trying to make it as fancy as possible kinda like a v-drive huh.
Scared to ride in the jet boat huh.Yeah that is making alot of sence, I have more miiles in that boat up and down the entire colorado river than the average flat has ever seen. That has no truth in it whatsoever. Memory must be gettin a little hazy these days.
Run and hide when you start the flats..bla bla.What a bunch of crap.
I didnt realize black and grey were 80s colors? its an old school gel design, ya thats what I wanted, but not in red, orange, yellow and purple with a dually to match... Thats 80s.
So what its taking time? Why does everyone care so much? Ive said it over and over, i could have slammed it togethor in a month, i chose to do it a different way.Big deal.
Trying to make it like a v-drive, I dont think so. What no one has nice jets anymore? and if you do it resmebles a v-drive?

dont worry blown , since you stuffed a blown motor in the glastron, you can hang with the ***boats.
What im getting at is what ive said over and over. An event should have been held long ago, pertaining to ***boats or hotrod type of boats.Jets,flats,vintage whatever just no stock junk, the problem is those guys come out and shoot huge rooster tails make tons of noise while hardly moving and fart around all day causing problems , pulling intertubes, etc. Thats not fun for the hotrod guys.ive brought this up so many times only to get laughed at. Thats why I give these guys so much shit on occasion. Tell me it wouldnt be fun if we put the bullshit aside?

Surprised to see you put it up here instead of v-drives.
First of all, like ive said time and time again. My goal is to see us unite one day, I realize my posts are not helping , but I have tried way too many times to get shot down by a grumpy flatbottom owner, so it came to this. I still think that weekend at CFW pissed you guys off to the point of no return, i completly understand that too.That sounded like a bullshit deal to me. Just so you know Mr. tony, ive been around ***boats since the day I was born,We were there back in the day when havasu was ok to go with a 19ft. boat, we had a large group of jets and flats, with the likes of billy b and many other old school v-drive and flat guys.We ran ndba back in the day, then my uncle raced super eliminator w/ ihba in the late 80s it was either a 7 or 8 sec. bracket, i cant remember, we ran that for about 8 years in a white cole hydro,ended up getting out of it then and sold everything. I did not miss a single race,later that same boat showed up at ming ony to be crashed when the guys helmet came off, this was very recent , im sure you were there, unfortunatly the guy died. a few years later we bought a 19 dayona with a d-stroked 490 that ran in the 9.0 bracket, used it on the river and sold it a few years later, always had the Southwind tunnel through all that.Thats my background in the boat racing deal. No I didnt race, i was 9 years old. I was only a kid at the time, but I was probably the biggest fan of drag boat racing there ever was.
Your absolutly right, cas was not being snide, it had nothing to do with cas. Ive stated where im coming from over and over, i dont need to repeat it.
My attributes on what it takes, for the most part was a joke, shit we had a dually painted just like that one,it was only a joke.
your questions:
I wouldnt have taken any thing to the lake since its winter, if we did go we would have ran ourSW tunnell dragster,its not fast its for pleasure its all fresh w/ a brand new motor that makes 600 on pump gas. its not a race boat. My boat is not done, im waiting on the motor from dne motorsports, its complete otherwise.
Last time I was at the river was late summer, in blythe. I stayed with a guy that has a twin turbo cole flat, his names roger french, its plenty fast.We ran our SWTD that same weekend, since then we have winterized the boat and backed off the valve springs, too cold right now, besides that im too busy. I usually go to the river just about every weekend i the summer, blythe for the most part.
Do I have a clue what im doing? I think so. I rigged my 2002 kevlar/graphite daytona from scratch, besides having the intake set and motor plates, i pretty much did the rest.Yes im proud of it, if you have not seen it look in the image center under cs, not cs19. Other that that I work for a respectable jet drive builder during the day and take machine technology classes at night, im into my 3rd class and im learning my way around the machine shop.I may not be as good as you mr. scarlota but im learning.
When did I ever say im going to be fast Tony? I never said that. to answer more of your pointless your questions, about my horsepower,Dave says we may see 800, that should be enough for me at this point,dont you think? You ask when it will be done? well very shortly, I was by the shop today and things are looking good, Dave said it would be ready by mid march,possibly sooner. Im not rushing anything, its done when its done.Hope thats okay with you.I know your getting antsy.
No you dont need to rush to the waters edge to see me run, like i said im not fast, never said im fast or will ever be fast.As far as anyone mentioning my name, i could give a shit,i dont care. Why you even bring that up, i dont know.Whats with all the questions?
Bottomline is, the jet guys are open to invite you guys to all events, we would love to see you guys make more trips other than these couple of v-drive events you host, its all about ***boats, our ***boat world only gets smaller everyday due to the newer crazes in boating, its just too bad you guys have such a bad attitude when it comes to jets. I completly understand you dont want to hang out with some guy that has an oil burning olds in a tahiti or something, i dont either. Its about ***boats.
Go ahead and flame away, i can take it.
You are gonna hurt yourself if you keep back peddling.
First of all, I am not putting myself above anyone else in her or at the river or at the races. So all the comments of "I guess i won't be as good as you" are out of line. I am the first one to lend help or parts or whatever to anyone except Uncle Tony
We don't set the rules for who is allowed at an event. We just show up and whoever is there is there. You are invited to attend any and all gatherings but check the attitude at the door.
I have owned Jets and my wife has even raced one. I am actually partial to the eliminator Daytone hull.
We do stand around in the parking lot BSing and looking at our boats but that is fun to me. At the races, the fun is in the pits Friday and Saturday night when everyone is just kicking back or hanging out bench racing. There is not a segregation of V drives vs Jets. You are putting a Bullseye on your back when you lay down a post like the one you did.
We have all been at the races since we were kids and this is why we are the way we are.
