yesterday

You'll never guess what Shorty did yesterday :))THumbsUp

I found a flat that wanted to come to my shop yesterday. I was just looking for parts for my 71 Sanger restoration I’m doing when I came into contact with a guy selling this flat. I know it’s a 1969 Barracuda it has the hull tag and I got the title but I don’t know much about this manufacturer...

Nick Barron - past away . Nick Barron - long time man behind Hallett Boats and Barron Boat Works in Southern California - past away March 2, 2017 at City of Hope in Duarte, Calif. Nick was one of the last of the "old school boat builder legends of the boating world". R.I.P. Nick ...

Went to the lake yesterday and took a few pics. Reminded me how much I miss boating. Man, I need another boat....LOL

we went to look at the boat,... I don't have any money... spent mine on havasu houses and meadview/bullhead lots... wife put hers in stocks and savings... I figured that once she seen the boat,,.. she loves schiada's... that she would pony up for the boat.... it's a once in a life time deal...

Congrats heard you waxed all the whackers:hmmm: heard the only whacker with sqeeze broke befor he could pair up with you:grin::)one of these days,i would like to make this winternationals event

Thanks shortbus for a great ride yesterday. We launched at Orwood, ran to Rusty Porthole & met Jason & Drew for breakfast. Out of franks tract thru 3 mile past Rio Vista up the Sac riv to Giustis for a beer. Both boats ran great. Thanks for a great day.

All is quiet on RD's , what happened ?

Some pics from a cruise/meet yesterday......park is 20 miles long.....once a year event....thousands of cars.....as far as you can see......weather was great....BBQ everywhere .....lots of drinks....good peeps....I'm not a photographer......most were taken from my seat....did walk some....not 20...

I heard there was a billion peeps out yesterday, sorry we missed everyone. Here's what we did :thumb: KEN'S RUN 2013 - steveshots

:happy: Weather was perfect. Got it up to 85.8 GPS with three people and 40 gallons of fuel aboard. And it was still climbing but I ran out of room. :thumb:

And no 9mm. They are not happy. Mentioned they don't see any coming in for possibly a year. Boy....am I living in the Past........:))ThumbsDwn

I have MSD dizzy...billet deal with locked advancer. Been having some idle quality issues....noticed the 'lock' on the dizzy was just a pin through lower plate and a c-clip...knock the roll pin out of the gear, slide shaft up a few inches..slide upper/lower plates apart, rotate 180* and the pin...

At Fabulous Freddies yesterday, when the manager asked me if I could move my car so that the tow truck could get this one. Somebody forgot to use the parking brake or even bother to put it in Park!

The boat responded well to the new motor/pump and diet combo. Similar HP as the last one, with more torque and 250lbs less weight in the boat. We had a little test session yesterday in the lagoon, gettin it ready for the regatta. It launches so much better......just sayin:)

Mike Thomas, aka Mad Max, aka Grass valley Mike was in a pretty bad boat crash yesterday. He was air lifted to Sac. where he is in surgery as we speak. Thats about all i know for now.

Looking forward to lots of work so we can have lots good time ahead. 1979 Biesemeyer, any history is welcomed. Was told Ty Newton drove or owned at one time. Looks like it had the name "Winged Victory" which would have been SS514 driven by Chris O'Connor around 2002. Hope to have it back out...

My mom was a huge fan of the boat drags. She was there at my first race and missed very few races. She was very supportive of me and the club we raced with. Alot of you guys new her from the races and she loved all you guys and the things you did. I will never forget the races we got to spend...
