What is “too early” for boat start-up on the Parker Strip?

[Wheeler]

Odds are higher that he'll quit smoking.

Cool boat! Just needs the motor turned around and a cable steering (and new post) installed.

He claims to be a Parakabilly and would like to get back to his roots in Parker. This boat is perfect for RD, plenty of room to grow into the steering wheel.

Lol!!

Like most of the people on this site, I don’t believe Dave is sturdy enough for a non v-bottom boat. If he ever went there it would be short lived.

The previous owner was about 6'9" at 335 went by the name of Jim. From what I hear he killed three men with his bare hands while drinking at the Canyon Inn and is now searving his time.

This caricature is of Jim and about what he looked like only uglier in real life.

I say when you can see. I don't own a place there, but my buddy does, and sometimes he's nice enough to let me stay. I have no problem with being woken up by a flatty, waves crashing the dock from a surf boat, well that's different.

You didn't give me enough notice before the start of your passes. Maybe your boat ain't loud enough!

What's the story on that lake?

 

[Wheeler]

Look forward to seeing more.

The Lightfoots have a couple of bitchen boats. I hope to see more of thejm

What's the story on that lake?

Ski land, home of the NDBA. It's in Perris Ca.

It was a recreational lake that allowed monthly drag boat racing during the season.

 

[Backlash]

Looks like a different boat at dusk.

Looks much slower without the numbers on the side.

These might be re-posts but I ain't going through this thread to find out.

Wheeler, don’t know where you’re finding the vintage Sundance pics but....

THANK YOU!!

You’re taking me back to a great time.

I’m workin on it for sure. Makes me happy that this thread is thriving. Brings out the River Rats in all of us.
Got the waterpump/fuel pump back together and mounted. Also got my tank pads machined and re-mounted. Got a couple more things to do but it’s happening!

I still can’t post pics with my new iPhone XR. Very strange. [emoji2959][emoji35][emoji2962]

You might ditch tapatalk and use the browser. It works for me.

I've skied at Parker, Casino row in Laughlin, Havasu, Puddingstone, Perris and Silverwood, but by far the scariest place I've ever skied was at Ski Land. It was like skiing in the Daytona 500. But I was only 9 or 10 at the time.

The memories...

You got that right.

Back when Sundance was for sale they had an ad online with a bunch of pics. Found myself in one with some friends sitting at the lower bar.

It's so weird going there now with kids running around the place.

You’re right Wheeler... f’n Tapatalk.

Maybe @Skyskier will finally come and post some pix.

You should ask Keith about me driving Firewater...

Him skiing behind it...

Ask him what he would do as we passed Sundance, on pretty much any given weekend.

Awesome Thread!

Yeah me to, it reminds me of how I grew up during the summers on the parker strip from the late 60's till now. I will be at the old "red rock" campground in september with my kids and grand kids. during the week only, it's not what it used to be!
