Can anybody tell me what makes them awsome?

I am just curious what makes them stand out, I have never had the privilage to own or work on one and would like to see how my Bradhaul stacks up...

Thanks, can't wait to see this thing take shape BTW...

No progress, no pics, it's still at the glass shop...

Glass shop, for what.
Looks like it could use a cap but it is a race boat.

Luckie Stiff · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2010, 08:50:53 PM »

cap, set back pump, move the turn fin, fill the dash, couple of minor blemishes. Then there's the Magenta and Yellow metal flake heartbeat graphics..............

When they are set up right they just seem to handle great and turn great!

Did this one have the floor in it, with the fin under the motor? Thats the way both of our 19's came.
Is this going to be center steer?

jim brock · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2010, 09:20:37 PM »

false floor rotted, fin to far back, yes center steer, you have to when you have a 300 lb driver

Just Electric · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2010, 09:26:10 PM »

ouch he's not 300 pounds but high 200 im guessing

Anybody got a picture of the bottom of one of these badboys?? Of the boat Skip, not the clapping booty..

I literally have no idea what my hull was "patterned" after, but should kick ass....(there is a lot of optimism hidden in there)..

Magenta and yellow

Jim, did you guys race these with set back pumps back in the day.
You don't see many with set backs.

Glenn, here's the bottom of the 19'. It has the large drop chines that the 18' does not have.
The 18' that the rest are running have a faster bottom. I believe the strakes are different.

FWIW, a while back I was going to pick up a biesmeyer with a similar bottom and while at the races Terry Valore consulted with a few people and pretty much talked me out of it.
Not that its a bad boat or design, we just thought at my level, I was better off with something else that I didnt have literally start all over with as far as feel and set up.
Rons already got a bunch of time on his so they"ll know what to expect

A few people at the races knew the boat I was gonna pick up and they all had the same same thing to say .
Kinda wishing I would have picked it up

omar jim has another rogers at the shop you should hit him up 818-890-1867

rogers tr · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2010, 10:54:45 PM »

76 at the drags the tr bottom sure seems to work

76 Bonneville · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2010, 11:45:37 PM »

I'm good with the TR, 80mph with our 427 seemed respectable.
But everyone I talk to says the 18 is faster.

76 Bonneville · « **Reply #23 on:** January 07, 2010, 10:34:15 PM »

Hasn't anyone gone over to the glass shop for some pics.
Or is it back for some rigging. I saw Jim over on PB looking for a T-tank.

jim brock · « **Reply #24 on:** January 08, 2010, 08:02:36 AM »
