So, After missing the Idaho Regatta (I really do mean missing) and finally getting my fix at long beach (albeit with a GN) I have caught the bug... Probably terminal at this point.
I have my little 19 here. White Trash, I have decided that it will make a better circle boat than it will the yard art that it currently is.
It is basically a 19 Renegade/GT that was purpose built for going fast. I believe I can make it turn like a rabbit being chased by a mountain lion.
I have a motor that needs to be gone through, but looking for more crap to build a second motor with similar specifics.
I also have three pumps, so I will be selling one off and building two complete set ups.
There is a list of stuff that I am needing and a list of stuff I would like to get. I am trying to follow Brads lead here after talking to him at Long Beach. Basically stealing Brads idea to double his efforts.
I am sure he has been busy and has not hammered out the details, because I have not either. Lets just say that this boats alias is going to be "Your Name Here".
There are going to be some opportunities coming up next year (maybe even the end of this year) for some people to get involved. I personally think it is going to be the best year CJ/NJ has ever seen to date.
More when I can, slow and steady wins the race. I will update this thread when there is something to report.
Stay tuned.

Dude,
That's awesome. I would love for you to be involved. I am sorting through all the stuff that we have left from the rock dodger, some of this stuff has not seen daylight in 18 years....
Thanks bud.

I can build you a loader, just need soon specifics when you get a minute about your intake and hull design. I also have access to a fiberglass seat mold depending on what you want.
I am probably going to build an aluminum Kirkey style seat as I am 6'6"@240....
Game on fellas.

Oh, I've started!
I'm about to the point where I need to start glass work, but I ain't no glass man!
Yet I also can't afford to pay one either!

This is awesome guys, I can't wait to see your guys progress. I need to hook up with one of you at some point and get a game plan together for mine. I want to start tearing it apart now but I'm trying to be patient and wait till it gets cold so I can use my boat the rest of the summer.

I'm taking mine for its maiden test and tune run this weekend. I've heard CJ is running at San Diego next month, I'm running it if it happens...Parker for sure.
