Some of Dad's boats
« on: March 15, 2013, 10:21:43 PM »
Finally broke down and bought a scanner to put some of my pictures into the digital age. So, I figured I would scan some of my Dad's old water hot rods into my laptop to share with the gang.

First is hid old Miller, complete with faux wood deck.(that's me in the drivers seat age 5)

Secont is Dad's last jet he owned. It is a Haskell with a 454/panther. I loved that boat and tried to buy it twice brofre I bought my Sanger. But when I brought up the fact that I heard the boat had sunk, and asked if it had happened under the sellers ownership. The seller magically didnt want to sell the boat any more.(guess that was a yes)I didnt care if it was sunk or not, I wanted Dads old boat back :screwy:

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Next up is Dad's one and only flatty (that I know of). It is a 65 Schiada glass over wood with a 327sbc and an in out box. Dad ended up trading it to a friend for a Rolex and some cash back in 94. He never put it in the water. Last we heard the boat went back east.
