if your just interested in it to part it out, maybe. It's hard to sell things right now but who knows.

If it has a split case casale it'll probably be a 12 degree. You might get $400 for that.

The single axle trailer might pull $200 to $300.

I have no idea what you could get from the engine. If its a rare GTO engine it might be worth a lot.

The hull and the rest of the hardware from 0 to $600 depending on how good of a salesmen/lucky you are. This is provided the boat isn't rotten.

Turning it into a fast riverboat won't happen, it's the wrong kind of flat.

Making a nice skiboat/ cruiser out of it will cost a pile of $$.

well, i'd sure like to see it if it's not too big a pain in the ass. Is it on RR I?

No,  It may be in the 97' classic v-drive club video.

Yea, Hondo was the name of Brendell's dog. No shit....thats what i hear anyway.

I think he named the dog after the John Wayne movie. I don't remember, the entire story is in one of these books somewhere. 

Beerjet thats is a cool ad That place is right down the the road but is a bar now. The guy that use to own it was Herb Brendella. I didnt know he made Hondos also, I know he made Brendella boats, He own " Smoke on the Water" . He has past away but his wife still lives in Three Rivers, And my brother was working by her house and saw that shovel head mold get tosted on a burn pile,. What a waste I would of loved to have that mold. Do you have any more ads like that?

AA sory about the jack I just got excited

The runner bottom came out in 71. It was Irv Brendell and he started out with the name Brendella boats. He changed it to Hondo in the 60's until his divorce in the mid 70's and went back to the brendella name because Peggy was awarded the Hondo business.

This is one of the most well known dragboats in history. And I'm talking number 1 or 2 to Panic mouse!

Nice looking Hondo!! Is it a runnerbottom or a sprint?

If there aren't any numbers on the block somebody took a grinder to it. Pull a valve cover and tell us which heads are on there. I have all the books if you need any ID help. 

Thanks Jerry ,my Kids (S&L and Baby girl) Run/manage the Dana Marina on Mission Bay and we have Free accomodations in La Mesa,just wondering what the "program" is very excited cant wait its me and Ro's B 'days ,should we take use a boat or hang out on shore ? When you say "IF" they run the Drags ??  whats up with that ? Oh well long as "Outbacks" or "On the border" has food and drinks WTF we're good for a road trip anyhow !! Thanks Tom

The San Diego bay fair has been teetering on exisyance for several years now. The dragboats have been there many years but not every year. I would just check the internet or with someone who knows. I was there one year when they only had like 12 dragboats show up and a couple years where circleboats ran instead.

I dont think the Honcho's got what it takes to break these bad boys .

-beerjet-

Then I'll be more than safe with these 14 heavy duty Bergerons pieces. 

You can chrome all this shit . That'll help !

-beerjet-

That's what I need,  broken but "chrome" turnbuckles.   

Sorry brudda, Honcho would snap those tiny parts. 


My lockout handles are 10 position. 

They would probably work on an 85 mph CJ.

Damn! That stuff is old!!!

Good luck with the sale.

typical flames and skulls

That's definately wild!!!
