I don't know, but I did find some info that says this boat is not a Sprint, the Sprint name came later  , and I was right about it not liking rough water.  This is no circle boat !!  It needs smooooooth water,  just like I thought. 

 It might be awhile before there is any more progress on this thing, I'm getting tired of looking at it and need a break (way to much of the 2 steps forward and 3 steps back going on  ) . Looks like I'm going to stick to the swimming pool this summer 

 Propless has left the building 

Yes it is--I love to go to Shasta, probably my favorite lake in CA, but it is a 6+ hour tow for me. Also, I've been at Shasta when it was 110* outside. Shaver, on the other hand is much smaller, but at 5500' elevation, so it is always 20* cooler than the valley. I imagine that you could make the tow in about 3 hrs, maybe a little more. There is an excellent camp ground (Edison) with good facilities for either tent camping or RVs. We have a cabin there and it looks like I'm going to be "stuck" up there most of the summer, so if you want to come over and check us out, give me a call.

 Mark shhhhhhhhhhhh,  don't be telling these guys about the nice places around here  .  He was just kidding there's no such place a Shaver lake, the only lakes around here are Pine Flat and Millerton , both have ugly muddy shore lines covered with stickers and rattle snakes  .

propless and 2sav, you guys crack me up
cant wait to see the show down

goooooo FORD

 Show down  . Hmmmm, I dont think 2sav / 2scared  wants any of this !!  But if she does we can work something out !!  Whats half way between Bulhead City and Fresno ?   

BIG DOGS, thats funny......

Its more like....Here Kitty kitty

2sav

 

 
 

Took a different route with the engine color, As you can see its bleeding chevy orange, but will be shitting out ford blue when its done ( Thats for you Propless )
Oh and B-rad im gonna trailer your ass

2sav

    This boys on CRACK !!!!   I don't care what color you paint that boat anchor,  I'll smack you back onto your trailer so fast you wont know what happened !!  You better go find some canoes to race (get a few wins under your belt) before you call out the BIG DOGS !!! 

 I'm not to good at explaining things, but I think this is somthing like the idea that Josh was talking about.  That look about right youngster (Josh). 

 LOL. Ohhh,  you mean the only one that works around here.  Again, no.  I spend my time working on the project.    Hmmmm, now that I think about it, there's got to be something wrong with me if Id rather stay home and work on a boat than take the running boat to the lake  .  I guess I'm just bored with that old boat.  Just seems like a waste of gas, money, and time to take it out, its to slow. (stupid YJ pump)

 

yeah you caught me no these have some small pitts so i wanted to get new stuff at start over and hope for a better finished product,this is another great example of how my boat builder screwed me he promised it would shine like new at this point i might just powder coat it

 Just chrome it ,  That will fill in those little pitt marks, and you wont have to repolish it all the time 

Looking good bro     Sooooo.......... when do you plan on getting it wet? 

2sav

 Do you mean like a date its going to be done according to a plan ?   I gave up on making plans like that, when its done its done  .   I was hopeing for the Parker trip, but nooo, my stubborn as# wanted wood floors    Labor day, maybe

Have you even taken the other boat out for a run yet

2sav

  If you are talking about the Daytona (there are 3 boats here  ).  No , That's next on the project list.

Looks fantastic! Keep after it and you'll be on the waters soon. Trust me, everyone here knows how long it takes to go from a hull to a boat. Keep after it and fall back on you "sponsors, (ie, the rest of us)" to keep focused............john

 Thanks John,  Its nowhere close to being as cool as your project (that thing is sweet !!), but I love it . 

 Sponsors  , Whoohoo !!  Its not even done and I have sponsors !!   Does that mean the sponsorship checks are in the mail ? 

 NO 

The stringers are to pretty to drill holes in, so I need to go get some double sided tape and super glue 

 Are you still sitting in your boat listening to your new stereo, and making vroom vroom noises ? 

 Heres a pic of my new custom rail kit from Billy / ironman.  8' rails and plates 2 1/2 x 3/8 (super strong !!), all countersunk bolts,  I just need to drill 20 holes in my stringers now 

 Sooo, wheres the pics of the new motor 

 Oh yea ,  Tom you still need to get some pics of the secret bottom on this racer  .  Send the youngster under there !!

 Your not distracting me with this TV show stuff 

Are you sure that wasent monster garage and it wasent a ultra?

That episode made me cry  , that was a nice jet boat.
