JB, who owns/owned that other gun next to Rice Hauler in those pictures? I think I've got some pics of that rig in my computer.

If I'm not mistaken the boat next to Rice Hauler w/the "bat out of hell" graphics was the one that had some water damage, Jeff Cheng and Co. bought it, re-painted it and sold it for a REEEEALLY good price. I don't know where it went though.

Well, I know the pics are from 02'.................... If that helps of any

Hey Jack,
Nice Seeing your Voice. And the Shots of the the Boats both Mine and yours look GREAT too.

The Boat with the "Bat out of Hell" Graphics originally belonged to a Gentleman out of Indianapolis and was powered by HP500's. It was a LipShip Boat.
It was one of the Last Straight Bottom 2000's that Phil did.
Mark sold it to a Physician on Lake Erie and that's where those shots were taken.

Jack may know if the Doc has since sold it or not.
He loved to put all his Kids, Grandkids Included (Like 9 people in all,) and head to the Casino for Breakfast in the Mornings.
That was where I usually would catch him.

Tank, Sorry I've been a bit busy. I always check in, and I've loved seeing your boat in Print the last few months. I know what a "Fan of the Brand" you are and I'm tickled to see you get the recognition that you've received.
Look forward to seeing you and the Left Coast Gang again. Hopefully Sooner rather than Later. East Coast or West.

Best,
rob..
a.k.a. Rice Hauler

SECRET! Shhhhhhhhh????

Re: The Illustrious Rice Hauler
 

Rob, great to "hear" from you. I'll call you soon to catch up. Kelly and I want to get out to Miami/Keys soon, lets hook up!
Thanks for the kind words on our ride. It's come out really killer and we're extatic.

The "bat out of hell" boat is not the one I was thinking of. The one that came out this way (that rolled) was a twin step, same paint though.

Tank

I was just thinking.......................... Was this the one you were thinking of??? What tipped me of was the sun bad on the engine hatch
