Matching Tow Rigs whatcha got?

[Clank123]

Wow...that's pretty incredible setup. Definitely a rare piece!

Yeah pretty cool. It was the last all wood 20 Campbell ever built. Was in real rough shape when I got it.
They lengthened the cockpit an extra 18 inches to accommodate the second engine.
The Campbell’s like the look so much they built a plug to match and all the glass boats were copied from this boat.

HaHa. There is. Twin 496’s with 12 Holley 3310’s. Made over 1200 hp and just under 1300lbs of torque on the dyno.

Loving this boat! So unique, did not know there was a cross ram ever made for a big block, only seen them on small blocks... Bravo!

Few more tow vehicle shots from over the years couple different Fords and a couple chevys starting in 1982 with my 2.5 liter hydro on through 2008 with 104 in the window of the chevy on the return road...guess I’ve always liked White Duallys cause they look good with about anything, including the one I have now...maybe a Ram next time!

Don’t feel bad for the 03 Expedition. She has lived a pampered life 70K miles and only has to pull it 2 miles to Windsor and a little around town. We ordered it specifically for Boating (cloth interior), posi-traction and tow package. Budnick 20’s are staggered and mono-chromatic paint was done by a buddy. Ski will be getting a matching paint job or wrap in the fall.

Thank you! There sure is. They are the family I bought the boat from.

That’s the best Cole color combo.

I kick myself everyday for missing out on a 224 Cole Skier jet that was selling here with those same colors.

My first truck was a Ranchero but it didn't match anything. My 2nd and 3rd trucks were dually's.

Latest tow rig.

Yes, Sold the Ford bought the Chevy. The Chevy is almost as quiet as a gas truck, unlike the 747 sounding Ford.

Oh man I love that color scheme....

This was taken a couple of years ago, just before I sold the Chaparral. I had taken out the 496 and Bravo 3, and installed a 675 HP 540 EFI bullet and a Bravo XR in its place. I had also installed a full hydraulic steering system. It was a real sleeper, top speed was about 78 MPH.

Kinda funny huh? All that work and money and it still wouldn't hit 80.

They don't match, but they're from the same time period. The Howard is a '67, the F-100 is a '66.

.

This was taken at Plowman's Creek Park on the Brazos River. We used to have a great party there during the first week of October.

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

Another one of ours. They dont match color wise but figured I'd go ahead and post.

Our 1977 K5 blazer and 1977 Sunchaser jet bote..

Hard to compare eras. The early 90’s were fun, and the boat turnout was pretty good...if you were around for drag boat racing in the mid 70’s, it was pretty tough to beat...
7 different Flatbottom classes and 6 different hydro classes most all with 12-18 or more boats trying to make 8 boat fields...At the 1975 Nationals there was 25 Blown Fuel Hydros trying to Qualify! Plus you had an average of 2 races per month Minimum from March through October Between the NDBA and KCBC as well as the APBA up north.

Blown Fuel Hydros above...Blown Gas Flat and Unblown Fuel Hydros below.

Yes I definitely missed the golden years of boat racing Should have said in my time on this earth those were the best days of drag boat racing.

I was lucky enough to run in 1975 and all throughout the 90’s.
Lotta fun in the 90’s I gotta say too though...and some Badass boats and great people!

You guys are doing it wrong

 

[SOCALCRICKETT]

This one doesn't match the formula but matches the skeeter, ill post up pictures of the skeeter later. Love this damn truck, Z71 4wd dropped 5" with helper bags in the rear, does everything I need it to do and wife likes it better than the 2500hd it replaced
