Thats really cool, Kevin. To have the boat in the fam for so long and know exactly what has been done to it and for it to look SOOOO good is awesome. And not to mention how great it runs. Cool dude!Originally Posted by hotfish

Its a damn shame that people would rather set a boat in the back yard to let rot, than sell it to somebody that will bring it back to it's glory.. Never understood that
Great Thread

In the fam. sence 78
2000 Ultra Shadow. 3rd Owner
Guy in San Diego ordered it and ran it in Blythe, then sold it to a guy up in San Francisco and it was used on the Delta. Then I bought it in 2006 and and its ran in Needles. I'll probably never sell it.
I have every receipt and even the build sheet and the gel coat rendering from Ultra

I remember when this was up for sale back then. Gorgeous Boat!78 Performance, 4 owners, I bought it from the original owner Ray Martin in 97, I sold it to Bubba in 99, Bubba sold it to Bob Nickles, and I bought it back in 08.
This thread needs some balance (read: some bigger, slower boats). Original owner of this '91 Dana 22 foot tub. Bought it new (bare) with the first-born on the way, and rigged it with my buddy through '91-'92.

I am the 2nd owner. The gentlemen before me ordered her from Hallett in '76 and then ran her around Havasu and Parker in the 70's and 80's then she sat parked since the 90's. He told me some great stories when I met him to buy it 3 years ago. It's been a great boat!
Found out today that mine was black with some ugly pink and purple desing on the front of it, on a single axle. Might know more later, but it's better than nothing, maybe a lead can come out of it.
