I believe that everyone has seen these pix at least twice and I'm starting to run out of 'em. I might have to resort to scanning some old Hot Rod magazines next.:D

The flatties were out for the 9 hour. I'll have to ask Ted to fill in the blanks and try to place some captions.

As always Jerry great pictures!

I’m honored to say I own the exhaust logs off of this boat.:)

They are going on a project I’m currently working on & you will see them again sometime soon

Never get tired of your pics no matter how often I see them.

My friend and I went to check out one of Nordskog's Sharks Tooth boats about 2 years ago, way out at the far end of the valley. Price was ok but the boat was beat to hell, too much of a project for either of us. I don't think it sold because every now and then I'll see it on CL.

Beautiful hulls.

Awesome brother!

Jerry,
Where was that picture taken with the “grocery store” sign behind the flatbottom launching?

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. I really dig the old pictures like those. [emoji1303]

That first pic looks like Lake X?

In all reality, I just want to see how long it takes for RD to acknowledge this thread. Did you know that RD hates small boats, especially V-drives. ;)

[emoji23] I didn’t know that. All I know is this...I love driving my flat on the Parker Strip. If I hear another little boat with some HP, I’ll make my way to the docks to watch if I’m not already there. Hot rod boats on the Parker Strip is one of the the best sounds in the world to me.

Mr. Wheeler,

Post 759, pic #8, the freight trained engines, are they big block Chevy's?

Are they mounted 'flywheel to flywheel'? How did that work? (One engine turning backwards?)

Is this in the 'Campbell' looking blue/white day cruiser?

Pics 18, 19, and 20 - what happened there, and do you know the story behind it? (Mud in the header - blown out transom) Racing mishap?

Best thread on RDP.

Thanks

Dan'l
Ditch pump degenerate.

You know, just yesterday I went up to see Ted Sutton to ask him a few questions about the Nordskog boats but he wasn't home and I didn't wait. I might drive back up the hill later today and find out for you.

yes it is.

It's been a few years since I heard the story but as I recall that was at the Parker 9 hr.

I'll be working Friday but will be taking Saturday off. A friend is trying up his toon out front and we'll be sitting there watching the float. Swim on down and have a beer!

If this thread is any measure of the enjoyment we get from watching you and the others terrorize the strip, I say we have a winner!

They are connected at the flywheel by a V-driver unit made by Casale. One of the engines is configured to run counter rotation from standard. Pretty much standard in Marine use, or at least it was. I bet @twocents would know more or be able to make any corrections.

Is this in the 'Campbell' looking blue/white day cruiser?

It's a Bertram

Pics 18, 19, and 20 - what happened there, and do you know the story behind it? (Mud in the header - blown out transom) Racing mishap?

Bob Nordskog flipped the boat at the Parker 9 hour. Yet to determine the year.

Best thread on RDP.

Thanks

Now if we could just get that homeblown guy back out to Parker. :)

See you next week? o_O

I’m tryin. Torn rotator has me delegating work to the boat rather than doing it myself.... BUT with that being said, progress with simple maintenance is super slow. I’ll keep you posted. Currently need to get the tanks out to change the water pump impeller. While the tank Is out, all of the safety collars and steering gear will be gone over. [emoji1303]
