Its a Jones Tunnel or something like that.

Exactly right. Jones bottom and Schiada top. I think Maximus (Ben) bought it tha way.

Hello who biult the red and white #151 boat? it looks like a shiada top that has beem mofided and and a cat bottom.

It is a Schiada deck that was widend 6" to fit over the top of a Jones tunnel. It is a one of a kind & total red headed step child. I wish I never got involved with it but after 4 yrs of designing & changing shit I am commited to making it a winner. First year it ran 65. next year it ran 75. The year after I was running with Gary at 82 to 83 mph. This year it rode better but was struggling in the begging and end of the race. It hates smooth water. I am going to flip it upside down again this winter & add multisteps to the bottom. Make some prop changes. Cut a pickle fork in the deck & redesign the deck between the forks to create some lift. It has good potential. Just will take some serious out of the box thinking. It finished this year & didn't kill anybody. :thumbsup

Your boat looked great this year. We were really impressed in how far its come along and congrats on the finish. Thats a huge achievement. One thing I did notice about it was that the prop seemed to unload quit a bit. Like the ass end was out of the water a lot.

Finally got home to see the pics (the i-phone only loads the 1st 10 or so then the rest are blue dots)

Wheeler, the pics are AWESOME!! Where are you taking them from? (The ones above the boats?)

I started out at River Rat Mikes then went over to Racer Den's, Denny took me down the street and sent me up on on a hill where Darrin was also shooting from, here is a picture of the hill from River Bounds thread.

Thank you. Yea it is still hobby horsing, especially in the smooth shit. I was hoping for some gail force winds. Would have really helped out. I am going to make some pretty stout changes here soon. We need to keep the ass planted, & nose up! We will prevail!!!!:champagne:

Don't give up on the #151 project. Back in the 1960s there was a similar boat/set-up, "The Miss Long Beach" owned and driven by Dale Brown -- it was a V-drive cat (I think is was a Stylecraft). Ran several of the big marathlon races (Salton Sea, Elsinore 500, Parker 9-Hour, even pulled in the Catalina Ski Race). Very fast -- was out front a couple of times -- mechanical problems always seemed to keep him from a podium finish.

Anyone know the story on this boat and driver? I believe it's Bob Teague's old GN boat.......

Bob and his son John raced it.the boat was very nice to look at to say the least. they did pretty well in the race too. second overall i believe.

Wheeler I copied all your pics into the Reflections / Racing section.. (Instead of the usual recreational section)

If you had Teague's motor shop @ your disposal, wouldn't you go w/ EFI?

I sure as hell would. Better Mileage could make a sizeable difference in this race...

 

[RiverDave]

Actually with the mandatory pit stops, I don't think better mileage would be that big of an advantage. Now if it was a you stop for fuel when you need it kinda deal.. absolutely.

Thank you for the shots. It is helpfull to study them & see more from the outside of the boat.

Maxi,
Perhaps a extension on the ass-end of this thing so you could push the motor a little further back is the answer you've been lookin for!
But then again, Bilgie's pit pic might also be the answer to your prayers

I remember Bob Teague's boat at Clear Lake water ski races. Must have been mid '80s.

Thanks Dave, now I know why my post count is so high, I thought I had turned into a post whore!


Ps. post count is not something I have ever considered important.

Strangely I never thought it was that important either.. Other people seem to think so though?

I figure there is no way to catch Ritchie so why bother trying.

What's the advantage of making a Frankenstein boat? Here's one with a Schiada bottom and an Eliminator deck.

I haven't had much time for toy's lately.
Racer Den went through the engine and it's ready to go, I'll let you know when I get it on the water.

I'm thinking of larger turbo's, what do you think?
