Can you still build these? Don’t know why this was drug back to the top, but great looking hull.
Last post, February 2022, rigging a couple up.

Not to hi-jack, but waaaaaay back in 82-83 Tommy Papp and I built an 18' Winger that was an Earl Smith boat out of Texas. I believe most if not all Wingers came from this early design. It was a quick little SOB and we ran at several of the campsites near the I10 out of Blythe. Some of you old timers from Water Wheel and McIntyre might remember it. Lil Tuffy, Blue with about 5 miles of pinstripes. Damn I wish I would have kept that boat but our first house won out over that money pit.
Thanks for letting me rehash "The Good Old Days"
id trade plus cash on your end on this

Honest question. Do think it’s safer than say a 21 Daytona ?
I'll say up front, I've never ridden in a Daytona. Some people who have say the CP is more stable in lake chop generated by boat wakes. I have heard of Daytona's hooking a sponson and flipping. Never heard of a CP, or gull wing in general, doing that.

And I’ve never been in a CP. so no idea on how they ride or handle as well. Thanks for the input.

both boats are great.
21' daytona bad ass. its bigger probably a little safer
any gullwing bad ass 18' or 19'
safer it all depends on the driver . both boats can handle big HP. there are safety measures a captain should make
1. always wear a good life jacket= life line. if your going out river racing, with ballistic shorts
2.. 80+mph a jet away
3.. pop off valve for 100+mph plus the jet away
my cp use to run over 110mph.
always had my life line on
now it runs mid 90's still have my life line on.

Oh funny, I had his number, but it looks like it didn’t make it into my new phone. If someone doesn’t come up with one I can prob track it down.
