You thing this project is tough. Try recovering and restoring Malcolm Campbell's K7 Bluebird. Crash killed Campbell in 1967. Found the boat and the driver in 2001. Buried Malcolm and are restoring the boat. See web site they have pix of the process. http://www.bluebirdproject.com/

WOW that is some interesting reading

Sorry it's Donald Campbell. Malcolm was his father and equally famous speed record holder.

You mean this boat ain't been picked yet

Maybe i need to go get it

« **Reply #182 on:** November 03, 2008, 12:54:57 PM »

I think since winter is coming on, the lake will continue to rise and if we get a lot of snow up stream she may be gone for good if someone doesn't get it soon. Diving gear may be needed already.

Looks to me like nobody wants to go if I go.....so, no help.

« **Reply #184 on:** November 03, 2008, 05:58:03 PM »

you guys are all talk go get the thing already

« **Reply #185 on:** November 03, 2008, 06:48:00 PM »

problem is that we still dont have a way to get it from the ramp to storage...and we dont even have anywhere to store it!

yeah, oc2vegas said he got a storage unit, but its not wide enough to get a trailer in there, so that means we would have to have enough people to lift AND carry it into the unit.

THEN hdrider said he would store it on the side of the house if we all go over there and tear down a wall....im all down for getting this boat ressurected, but i aint down for that.

so until someone comes up with an ultimate plan AND the people to execute it...it aint happening.

so yeah....keep saying youre gunna come and do it cuz we're all being lazy about it.....make sure you bring 10 or so people with you.

i'm still waiting to hear from the crane guy. he was off a couple days then i was off a couple days then friday i busted my ankle so i've been off. the wall is 5x8, nordie said he had some tires and was gonna push or pull the wall down w/ his truck. we dock a boat, prolly mine, put it on the trailer and drop it off on the tires....done

If you are seriously going... I'll throw new tires on the old trailer the stevens sits on (single axle, solid but rough old trailer) and set the stevens on the ground while I build a dolly. Go get it and we'll get the trailer back sometime this winter. May not be direct but I'm on your way.

Dude, I was drowning my sorrows, in a bottle of Wild Turkey, at the time I wrote that. However, if I feel the need to stay home, or loose my job, and sit home and wait for Obama's free money, that the working stiffs will be providing, maybe we can have fun and take a road trip out there.

We could swing thru Tucson, got a bunch of friends there. I'd never snake a boat from my forum buds from the west, but I think it'd be a f'in blast, to go screw off for a week with them.
