that must have been a loooong haul from sunland.
boat looks great. I know ive said this a million times about other boats, but I'd grab it if i had room for it and didnt have 2 other uncompleted projects.
nice find rod.

I was/am so tired I don't remember when I got home this morning, I think it was around 4:00 AM. :P

It's still for sale..................

Cool hull, that was one of my dad's favorites and I talked to the guy you bought it from a few times, but he couldn't locate, or it wasn't there, the original ID plate. It would show who rigged it. I'm always looking to find one of his old boats. It would have been in my driveway if it had his initals on it. ;)
Robk on the hot boat board tried to give me his old tahiti, same hull but it was all white, and I looked at it, but again, no id plate so I passed. Those really ride nice, but it's no air intrapment bottom. Just an old deep vee, and those big chines make it very stable. You'd have to be running at warp speed to pack any air in them, and then with that deep entry, it'd bow steer like carzy. We used that bottom with 4 other decks that I can remember, big seller.
Oh yeah, by the time this hull was built we had already moved the shop to cerritos and A&M trailers, who built this trailer, were located in one of the 3 buildings that only the year before was Tahiti, in Bellflower. Competitive trailers has been in one of the other buildings for the last 30 years or so. I believe Schuster still owns the property...a little usless trivia. :D

a little usless trivia. :D
Are you kidding me ... I would shoot copious amouts of man sauce if I could info like that on my boat . :o

It has a tag on it at the middle of the transom but it really doesn't say a whole lot.

... but it's no air intrapment bottom...
I've been arguing that it is an air entrapment hull, but I think I just got officially out voted. Somewhere around 5 to 1 I think. :D

Yeah, the guy selling the boat had it, at one time, advertised as a gullwing hull over on craigslist. Nothing could be further for the truth and I told him so. An entrapment hull as you might guess, traps air . Nowhere on this bottom is this provision. Think of it as a big funnel with the big end facing forward. All that air is bring forced into a little discharge area, creating, on a boat, lift. A CP does that, a tunnel bottom, the old Carlsons from the 60s did that, cats do that, but not v bottom Tahitis.
Even if some strange miracle happened and you managed to pack a little air into that area, you can't with that bottom because there's nothing there to trap it but say you did do it. The chine is higher than the keel of the bottom so if you did manage to get that hog of a bottom up and running to some amazing speed and you were riding on the keel, any air you did managed to trap would escape out the side of the boat, not the back because the keel would be no longer forming an area to hold that air.

The funny part is that I passed on that boat and tomorrow I'm picking up a boat that we bought and it doesn't have a diverter. For the 300 bucks he offered that Tahiti to me for I should have grabbed it just for the diverter. But I didn't want a project sitting around after I got what I wanted off it. Boy, what a dope. lol

... Boy, what a dope. lol
I've been called a lot worse. :'( ;D

You have a deuce pick up? very cool. I have a 38 tudor standard that I've had in storage since 1981, one of the straightest and rust free bodies I've ever seen. It was my dads, but he did very little to it except for tear it down to the bare body and buy extra front and rear fenders for it...just in case. I bought him some pete and jake engine/trans mounts back when they were still owned by P&J and we put a 327 in it that my dad bought brand new in 1964. He got burnt out on the deal in the late 70's and gave it to me, he was more into A's anyway, I've been keeping it for our son. So far he's a baseball nut, still playing at 20, and not too much of a gearhead. That's alright though, it's there if he ever wants it.
I took the flatty out of the 38 and stuck it in a 28 roadster pu I was building, kinda 40's styly. Highboy, Kelsey hayes, chopped windshield and so on. It was coming along nicely until I got hurt and had to sell it off, that was back in the mid 90's. Have a '41 Buick now that's stone stock. My friend bought it, had it 10 years and only put 200 miles on it. He bought it from an estate sale of a Dr. out in the high desert that had his own car museum. The car still has under 15,000 original miles on it. I had asked him to give me first chance to buy it and he did. I had to sell my steel t touring, also done 30/40s style and all my flathead speed parts to get it, but it's really nice. (well, nice to me anyway. it's no show queen and has it's share of scratchs and such) Now with our oldest daughter going away to college next year, I might sell it to raise a few bucks.
Here's a pic. I know where a 31 wide bed pick up is that I might try to buy if I do sell the buford. Got to have something to mess with.
I'll send you my address and thanks for the id plate. :) Oh, what shape is your '32 in. Never had a 32 and probably never will. lol

NICE!
I bought the '32 literaly piece by piece off of eBay. It has a long way to go. '32 steel cab, '33 split wishbones, '34 front axle and spring, '49 F-1 steering box, '48 juice brakes, '85 302 Ford and AOD, '29 bed, handbuilt frame by myself and marcsrollin, '64 1/2 Mustang 8" rear, P & J ladder bars, afu shocks with ? add-a-coils ?, fiberglass 4" chop radiator shell, '66 Mustang radiator, aftermarket steel firewall, uhmmm...
In '79 my dad bought a 1956 Bel Air 2 door hard top, factory A/C and power window car, saginaw 4 speed with a 265 (!) V8, he and I spent three years on that car, almost the only time he and I spent together it seems, he gave me the car in '94, I had to sell it in '03 (divorce). I cryed like a baby in front of my friends when that car left my driveway. I had to promise to give it to my son before my dad would give it to me, which I did. Attorney's suk, divorce suks, and bitches suk.
I'll mail you that tag no problem.
