...It Runs...Been Awhile...

[Willie B]

...Broken Neck has kept me and my boats out of commission for a bit...Nice to here the LS7 BBC run again...
...Oh and the girl...That’s my neighbor who has no clue as to how to launch a boat...but she wanted something for Snap Chip or whatever that website is???...

 

[Constant840]

Nice ride... is that girl missing part of her pinky finger??

...lol...no she had it bent under the phone to hold the phone up...

 

[Flyinbowtie]

If I had a pile o money I'd take that Sanger off yer hands.
If I had a bac that could take the ride I might even be able to drive it.
If...LOL

Sounds good Willie...hope you get to get some more smiles out of it.

Two things....

1) tell her she'll get way better snap chips if she dumps em out...

2) didnt I see this guy on craigslist for sale? I was going to hit you up about it but I didnt want to get into a convo with someone who I figured didnt know a thing about boats, let alone old flats. Which model Sanger Runner is this?

 

[wzuber]

sounds and looks good. Does it roll over slow because of the ls7 compression or a weaker battery/starter system? If that's the first time it's actually been started in a long time it fired pretty darn quickly, good deal. Does the naughty/nice neighbor girl have a teachable spirit?

 

[RiverDave]

Sounds good! I think you were doing a spectra as well?

 

[SHEP]

Your boat cover stand inside the boat so water doesn't collect is brilliant. Simple, easy, cheap, and probably pretty effective.

Nice ride and sounds great.

Cranked kinda like it has a locked out distributor

Sounds great Willie! Hope you get her on the water soon, nothing like flat therapy!

Your friend is cute, glad you have someone to tell your amazing history to!

...Probably going to get serious about selling it as with this broken neck...my second...I did some spinal cord damage...I really don’t think I could take the bouncing any more...but it is a ton of fun to drive...

...Number 1 is funny...after that pic she said I have to lose some weight...I said yeah maybe 10...she said more like 30...Her live in boyfriend doesn’t seem to complain...

...don’t let her looks fool ya...one of the smartest chicks Ive ever run in to...and my last girlfriend had an IQ of 167...

...number 2...yes it was on Craigslist for a couple of weeks to feel out the market...I know a small amount about boats...I have 3 Vdrives and a jet...and lived aboard a big one for 8 years...

...It is a Bubbledeck Circle Runner...

...It rolled over slow because I shot a bit to much carburetor cleaner into the scoop(learned a long time ago don’t use either or gasoline)...12 1/2 to 1 compression...Vertex Mag 36 degrees total advance...


...Not the first fire...I fired it last week and ran it for about a minute...no water to it yet...just got a new cover for my neovane water pump today...so now I can put water to it...it sounded that good last week at first fire ...after sitting over night with some mystery oil in the cylinders...

...the naughty/nice neighbor girl may not ever excell at backing up a trailer but Ill bet her boyfriend is one happy mo/fo...

...Never got married...have no kids...she is the closest thing I will ever have to a daughter?or grand daughter...I am a mentor to her and have done my best to give her good direction...She has probably heard my stories multiple times but very seldom says you already told me???...lol...

 

[Willie B]

Nice neighborhood!

...What am I missing here???... I don’t see anything nice about the neighborhood???...

...Truths be told you have no idea how bad I want out of there...
...I inherited the house ...my parents...about 5 or 6 years ago... first moved in to it when I was 5 and I am now 72...

...You can’t see my house...The background to the boat is the Armenian neighbors bedroom...Told them I may take up drinking again...and to not be alarmed if I fire the boat when I get home from the bar...Have you ever gotten a really cold Armenian stare???...ouch...

Thats exactly what I thought it was, and what i've been looking for (very casually). I need a 3rd boat like I need a hole in my head! Nice to know where ones at though if I get impulsive. I know they are heavy tanks, but a few guys ran them back in the days, I thought it would be cool to see one run semi-competitively again.

 

[Willie B]

...Yep...The Spectra is well covered and right in front of the Sanger...next cleanup/startup project...

...I’m not sure but I think they made a light...medium and heavy layup???...no clue what this one is???...

...Does work great...I first tried that up at my place above Lake Oroville where my other 2 boats are...learned to wrap em tight...occasional 100 mph winds...

I saw it too and was thinking the same thing! Lol

@Willie B just an FYI Einstein had an IQ of 160. Not saying it’s impossible, just unlikely.

I was referring to the girl, not the actual neighborhood. Sorry for the confusion.

...Her words...her measured IQ 167 in middle school...College GPA 5.O...till she decided to stay out in Hollywood and hang out with me...instead of going back to Texas to finish school...the rest of her siblings in the mid 130 range...

...Have a friend who is a retired Car Detailer aledges his to be in the 180 range...

...There is an list online of famous people’s IQ’s...several in the 180 range...

...I know a bunch of people who have tested really high...140 ish to 158ish 156...162..167...and I ain’t one of them...122...
...most of my friends who have been quite successful are in the 130’s...

...Someone should start a thread...what is your IQ..:I wonder how many would stretch it a bit or wouldn’t actually know???

In junior high school I figured out how to find out kids IQ’s...in my school it was the middle 3 numbers of the 5 numbers on an index card given out at the beginning of each semester to give the teachers a clue as to each students intellectual potential...

...Your fine...If you had been here a number of weeks ago when the LAPD Swat showed the next block up in full force... you would see how I could easily misinterpret your metaphor...lol...

There's nothing sweeter than the sound of a big block in a flattie firing up.

Willie, RD needs to make a Willie B forum for you. If you told just one story a day about your past, it would be the most interesting content on the website. I love reading your stories about the movies, famous people you knew, drag racing, flatbottoms, and everything else.

 

[RaceTec]

Yeah rrrr there are some great story tellers on here... Between Willie, TPC, Go Fly, etc. there is some great stuff!

...I’ve been trying to remember when the last time the boat was started...It’s possible it could be eight years ago...and that I had been using my Hallett Flat instead..,but then again I’m not really sure???...
