If Nortie builds something like that he is going to need a driver so that thing doesn't get away from him.

I'll have my driver call you

hey sanger nordie any word on your truck

Nordie · « **Reply #30 on:** January 12, 2010, 03:50:13 PM »

Truck has a dr's appointment tomorrow morning should know by the end of the day should be fixed by Saturday....honestly this time its my fault! I know that for a fact I think it is something simple...a line under the valve cover is leaking and I'm going to have the shop use a tech 2 to determine which cylinder then I will fix it....I might half to pull everything down again

Nice find that will look geat when done I love the old sanger hydros .

Nordie · « **Reply #32 on:** January 12, 2010, 06:44:22 PM »

i love this new shop i am using i cant believe this guys honesty....i call him and tell him that i want a diagnostic on my truck...then i proceed to tell him the situation, and i quote "josh i dont think a diagnostic on your truck is going to determine anything i could charge you the 110 bucks and nothing will get resolved...let me put you on the phone with my duramax tech" so the duramax tech told me what to do, and how to handle it, and call if i need anything....how on earth can you ever get honest service like that? i know i jacked my thread, but the boat and truck go hand n hand

So i got the boat over to terrys house tonight, and he is going to mess with it tomorrow i gotta work on my truck, and get that all done! got some really really good news! the mystery box had a really good thing in it! it has the outboard steering in it, and the bastard is chromed! also has everything to complete the steering....also in the box was the drive line...the coupler, the shaft seal, and some casale gears....cant wait to tear into this thing, and figure out what i am going to do!

so i havent even got to mess with the boat yet, but terry has and he sent me these here pictures....boat is originally orange gel coat, and the outboard steering came with the boat....the heim joints are a little rusty...also came with some casale gears....now i half to figure out what degree casale box i gotta put in this thing....im thinking it is a 12* also the boat is a 1978

Nordie · « **Reply #45 on:** January 17, 2010, 06:06:51 PM »

been thinking alot on the paint scheme....think i want a burnt orange, and a pearl metallic white

Nordie · « **Reply #46 on:** February 05, 2010, 06:28:06 PM »

a little more work updated....down to gel on the top half

IRRebel · « **Reply #47 on:** February 05, 2010, 09:37:56 PM »

I didn't notice it before, Nordie, but obviously that thing was not bought/built for racing nor appears it ever was?

I just realized no numbers, not a million stickers and having the saddle tanks........duh! Even greater find!

Ray

Nordie · « **Reply #48 on:** February 05, 2010, 09:43:53 PM »

funny you mention that, because in terry's there was about 3 paint jobs on the boat, but we will never know the history now, because all of the pain came off in one shot....it's in a big old ball of goop now....at some point the motor was moved in 7 inches....why it was moved that far forward no one knows....when the boat gets rerigged it will be put back into the stock location

IRRebel · « **Reply #49 on:** February 05, 2010, 10:58:48 PM »

Did Tdawg notice any stickers or residue? It just hit me seeing those pics awhile ago.

IF that thing was ever raced, there'd be no saddle tanks, I would assume, let alone the fills for them for as many paint jobs as it's had. As far as the engine placement, someone mighta been trying to get it to handle well for everyday use. (Nothing THAT hull will probably ever do)

Given what it is, I'd bet it hasn't seen a LOT of use, and the 'glass issues on the sponsons were from it's life on the beach! You don't see many Flatbottom Hydro's ever! Let alone one that wasn't a former, beat up race boat!

Now we ALL hate you!
