Still the best looking flatbottom ever tooled up. Fuck that, the best looking hull ever tooled up.

thanks for the pics, couldn't make the race this year.

I was rooting for them along with Baker #343
Here's a few I took from the patrol boat View attachment 1294947 View attachment 1294948
This team did an awesome job today. This boat never skipped a beat and maintained a very fast, consistant pace. They must b very proud.

I’ve got to say that Bayliner capri was pretty dam cool. Guy did a nice job on it.
Not a Bergeron or other high end install, but a guy with a boat that said “hmmm… I wonder if…?”
What motor was the bay liner running?

These pictures don't do it Justice . You should see the rigging . Eddie Sr was a good friend of Lou Brummett , and was rigging Mandella's since the mid 60's here in Tucson . My father had a 69 Short deck that I bought back and is being restored Eddie Jr has restored probably at least a dozen Mandella's . Most being ones his dad originally rigged . My old boat in my avatar being his first that he started when he was 16 .

It looked like just a basic big block mercruiser. Maybe a 330? There were mods. But stock exhaust etc. hull was gutted then deck props out of ply etc.
I didn’t think to look at the X dimensions
I wish I would have taken pics.
Makes me think.
All in, he was out there running the enduro.

Was it the same dude running the last year or two? I think I posted some video from last year.

Same boat. Older guy and his buddy out of meadview. I wanted to ask a couple questions but I try to stay out of the way on race days.

Well, I've seen his run in the 120s. But that's not going around corners, or accelerating out of them. And not carrying100ish gallons of fuel. And I really don't know how much fuel Stoker is carrying, but it's probably pretty close to that. And the Liberator/Eliminator is a faster boat than the 22 Stoker.
SPOT ON👍
