    Very small pics but I'll guess Buck Smith/Spico.

    Danny, How many boats do you work on at one time. With your stable, I can't see you having much time for anything. Are you going to bring the K to Long Beach?
    Want to thank those and you for your years of knowledge. "Books are the basis, words of experience are the tools".

    I have about 5 different boat and car motor projects going on right now and for sure I do not have anytime for anything including the wife. She just moved me out to the garage full time and told me to sleep with the boats or the machine shop guys...I have found that the smell of gas and glass is not all that bad .. As a group ( the PS-22 and us ) are not going to be able to make LB due to a number of issues, Lack of.. (time, $$$, Crew, $$$, did I say $$$$$$$ ) but we are really working hard towards Parker in Nov with the K-74 and PS-22.... Good luck to all in LB...

    I'll back up Jerry by saying SPICO also..........We owned the early short version 16' + with out the center-deck. If I'm not mistaken this one would be around 19' long. Being from Bakersfield back then, was only fitting to own one of Buck Smith's boats as he was a Drag Boat legend.

    Good Luck..........
