Painted by my buddy, Bill Carter. Pinstripe by Watson.
Don't know why ithe pictures won't go full size.
Bill was quite a character but really talented. Back in the 70's he painted a Porsche for my father. That's when he was located by Valley College in North Hollywood. Later when I needed my dually painted he was in Chatsworth/ Canoga Park area. Towards the end of his career and life, he was painting out of another buddy's shop, Doug's Custom in Chatsworth right next to where Cole was located. Billy was painting nostalgic dragsters.Awesome that Bill painted it!
Let's keep this boating content going................................................

Ok, sure is nice!!!I don’t know. At the time of that photo is was owned by Greg Shirley.
That's a sweet ride… when I was about 16 Andy Herbert used to come up to our shadow Hills house… To hang out with the father of the household…probably 1962…Andy wasn’t all that much older than us three knuckleheads that lived there… But he was a talented guy… And we were just dumb kids…
… i’ve participated in some all-time classic boat launches… But this hàs to rate with the best of them …I swear it was a good 45 minutes from the time the truck backed into the water until they actually took off at the boat…. lol… Andy’s cousin… Wayne Herbert was a big part of the launching crew…
… there is a long story about Andy finding that Bristol and doing the restoration on it… Unfortunately about the only thing I remember now is it was found it in someone’s garage???…That's a sweet ride

Thanks Sharpshooter!Howard Smith's wood 69 Patterson with a 392. Howard passed and his son Greg cherishes the boat now - Greg is a hard core v-driver and has been running with me for several years now. Even the fire smoke wont stop him - beautiful boat with a wood trailer - was originally set up for enduro fuel tanks
