I found this beauty a few months ago sitting and rotting away in the desert heat....decided to go buy it today while i had to go chase parts in that neck of the woods. It was in no shape to be towed, so I'll be picking it up next friday after its made tow-able.

Its a early 70's (72 is my best bet) Rogers. (edit - turns out its a hallet!) Its unique in a few ways.....#1, it has a Jaccuzi.....#2, its recessed on the bottom for trim tabs/cav plates. Now someone just didnt grind away the bottom, you can see that from the inside of the boat, it was actually set up in the mold that way.

It's previous name was "High Voltage".......but this is going to be my new CompJet boat numbered 667 and appropriately named "More then Evil".

I got some interesting plans for this boat, so sit tight and watch this thread as it progresses.

(sorry for the crappy cell pics - my luck today left me with dead batteries in the digicam.)

I was wondering the same thing, the green one. Nice one Brad, get it done. Only 4 months to Parker

what up with the jacuzzi diverter? and handle?

what up with the jacuzzi diverter? and handle?


The Beav

at this point, i dont know.

im going to tear into the jacuzzi and find out just whats in it and what work has been done to it.....might run it, might swap it out for a berk....time will tell.

Nice project Brad ,  I've always been able to look at a "project" like this and see past the "ruggedness" to envision the end result ,should make a really cool hot rod !! Nothing wrong with the Jacuzzi WJ ,just the bad name they have been given over the years . My "Project Miller"  runs 80 with a Jacuzzi WJ "AA"+ impeller  and 434 cu Stroker . Wjs were used in loads of production boats including Millers and Hondos . But if it comes down to it the WJ cut out is actually smaller the a Berk intake makin a swap "cake" Tom

So that's my problem, too good of "vision"

OMG!!!!   2sav leaves the building and a couple more come in...WTF 

Nice project, it looks to be about 40 pages to finish

J/K

Where did you find them


Looks familiar...........

just to clarify....this is an additional boat, not a replacement boat

the liberty will be retired from racing (for several reasons) to be my play boat for the river. i love the liberty and dont see myself getting rid of it.

this rogers will be strictly for racing.

the liberty wont be scrapped for parts....i've been collecting parts to build a second boat.

Can you have it done by february?  Louie Schindler just called me from the kilos, said he just talked to Anne Hoban and she said the permitts were getting done for the race in Havasu.  She was asking about the comp jets.  He is supposed to call me back later today to get some definite info.

i seriously doubt it.....though i have built boats in much shorter periods of time, i dont plan on rushing this one. if anything maybe the liberty would make that tour. we'll see.

Hey Brad, been trying to get my head around the name...More Then Evil, not More Than Evil?  Care to help me out?
 BTW I get the 667 thing...

Thanks!

GT
