what happens when a week link is found 



"The Youngblood TX-18 Picklefork Tunnel Hull Jetboat was first manufactured in 1984 in W. Monroe, LA. This hull was trickier to setup, but was successful in both unblown and blown classes. The hull was shorter, narrower and lighter than it predecessor and is very quick. The hull above, driven by Mike Hutson with a Blown Alky engine, ran 142 MPH in 1984 and then Steven Smith ran the hull in the S.D.B.A. & M.D.B.A UBGJ in 1985 & 1986 with speeds over 120 MPH. The boat set records during the 1986 season along with being season Hi-Points Runner Up falling a little behind Mike Straughan driving the new Performance Jetboats of Dallas sponsored Cheyenne boat by the name of 'National Debt'." this quote from http://www.youngbloodjetboats.com/ybevolution.htm

The above pic is a Southwind.

The Hass & Correl boat is a Place Craft, The Yellow Sleek Craft is the hull used right before the Aristocraft and tye hydo seems to be ether a sanger or hondo.  Roger Weiman ( Rogers Custom Boates) prototyped one in the late 70's Millet drove one @ Longe Beach but it never developed beyond the prototype stage. It rode just like a Roger's once thew sp[onsons got off the water.

nice

What happened to all the pics?

The backside of brochure

Another Roger's

The Roger's ad for the TR states seating for 6 adults, what are they Pigmey adults? 

The 18' was the 4 seater,so the 19' must be a 6 seater.

those are bitchen the brown one looks like mine

Hey Ralph, notice how far forward the motor is. Looks like Ricks' set up. Did he have some input on his set up?

i think jack at mpd told him where to put it

cool posts 76bonne, I like that shot of the ol super cyclone at Mammoth.

Flyers are cool too.

Thanks old rigger,thats me driving  in the Mammoth shots and holding the bow in the second pic. I was 13 at the time, my cousin was 9, and my uncle would just cut us loose and i'd drive wide open all over that lake. Thats where the whole Roger's thing started for me. If I could find that boat i'd buy it in a heartbeat. Light yellow, lime green metelflake and lime green interior I loved that boat, I would like to add that to the stable of keepers.

Someone just put this up over at PB.

Thanks Jerry.
