My boats been pretty far “apart”... new mag and wires, studded the fuel tank, tensioning steering cables, oil pressure idiot light, new shaft-log seal and hose...which leads me to ask for some help...can anyone identify the make of this hose?

That was quick. SoCalzero found it, but I was going to suggest a "regular" radiator hose type.

P-55 is for sale
Unfortunately I'm not in the position to buy a "done" anything. Maybe find a hull, and go from there. Motor parts I have;)
The first time I saw a crackerbox was about 7am skipping across Millerton up near Fresno. Being an early hot rod guy, thought that was the neatest thing on water. Everyone says they're horrible riding and dangerous...yep, sounds like a traditional hotrod:D

You can have it your way, with or without engine. Anything to bring new blood into the cracker box club racing.

I honestly hadn't given much thought to actual legitimate racing. I've only driven straight line stuff, and limited desert. I'd kind of looked into drag boats, as they seem to be the most comparable to what I've been around. That, and I would be afraid in the learning curve, I'd damage someone else's stuff. What club do you race with? Are the events mostly SoCal areas?

The driver of that boat ok?? I think it was a girl... first time behind the wheel.
As I recall the drivers name is Tyler. He drove at Buley and yes he's good to go but a little sore.

Dave you guys truly out did yourselves on this one. The boat is just incredible!

I’d make a special trip to Parker just to see this on the water in the early morning. That would be an awesome “too early” to see. Boat is a stunner. Especially when the light catches it. [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303]

I'll ask Dave Sammons what the plans are for running it and let you know.
