Great lakes flat decks check in!
 

My dad is a board member but hardly ever posts. We were both wondering how many flatdecks were running around.

My dad's boat:
86' Cigarette Hawk, Konrad drives, supercharged 468's

84 flat deck w/572's, PSI blowers, #3A's (sometimes #5 on box's).

Not in the Great Lakes, but a flat deck non the least.

Thats it? Well nice boats guys, I like the 90mph paint job.

None are mine but, the first two pics are a 38' that ports out of Sandusky, Ohio. It is one of my fav's. The 3rd is a 35' mistress that ports out of Leaminton, Ontario.

Here are a few pics of our old Mistress which we ported out of Sandusky, Ohio. I beleive it is now up in Lake St. Clair on the Canadian side.

Do tell more! Beautiful 38 you have. How does it run with the big power and 3A's? Thinking about getting a Flatdeck 38, love the lines of them.

How about a pic of yours?

There are 3 of us that boat out of Hammond Indiana

Here are some other shots of Fox Hunter 1986 Kevlar 38 Flatdeck 540's and 3's

Some of Mine 1985 Glass 38 Flatdeck 520's and Konrad Drives

Hey Mark, how does Fox Hunter compare to yours being kevlar and SSM setup? Handling, Ride, etc? Is Ryans a ssm boat too? I been thinkin 38 Flatdeck will be my next boat....

The Kevlar boats are at least 1000# lighter. They are different to drive, they react to trim alot faster. Mine is a little slower but will require less tab when it gets rough out.

Ryan's boat is glass and has 3A's it is a converted TRS boat.

Mark:drink:

It will run 90-92 with the #3A's and 100-103 with the #5's. It's for sale, if you are interested. Low hours on everything and fresh water.

Does fox hunter have the webbing in the bottom of the bilge or the straight stringers ?

The blue striped boat (not fox hunter, the other one) is that the old crazy horse boat?

Yes

Beautiful looking 'ol Ciggies!:drink:

Love the Flatdecks!

I'll be back in the water next year. First 2 pictures are old; the third is mid way through the new paint.

86 rette nice boat. Great pictures

do you boat out of Holland?

Mark

Mark, thats my dads boat. We were with you in that fun run where you got the pic of all the flat decks together, Michigan City I think? Yes we both boat out of Holland.

Guys, What is the function of this webbing? Was it omitted for race layups for any reason other than weight? Thx, Randy

Ahhh, Tell me more about our old mistress... Do you have any current pics? That sounds about right, that was the only stuff it needed to bring up to date. PM what he is looking to get out of it.
Thanks,
Jr.

that is a gorgeous boat smokes the current range.:hitit:

86Rette

Nice looking cig

Kris

Kris, we are doing fine. Boat ran good all summer for the summer we had. I think I put 20 hours on it.

Boat is looking good. Who is painting it? How is your brothers boat coming?

Mark

I though that was it. Didn't you go under door mouse before?

Is your interior orginal or was it redone and if so who did it.

I may get one more year out of mine some of the seams are getting weak.

I see you got the Konrads how do you like them?

Mark

Mark,

Will Christman from the Sign Shop in Racine is doing the graphics; I got it to all white for him.

Kirk's boat is basically ready for paint, he is going to hold off till spring to shoot it.

Kris

Man, great thread guys! I didn't realize there were so many NICE Flat Decks out there. :cool:

My brother and I were just talking, his 1986 38 flatdeck is hull number 91 and 86rette has hull #104. How many 1986 38s were built and what was the last one?

Kris

Mine is #78 from 1985.

Mark

Hello Mark, my int. is about 14 years old. A friend at Tiara power boats refreshened it for me, unfortunatly he no longer works at that company and has moved out of town. The konrads are awsome, they have performed perfectly. Its great to see you ,Fox Hunter and the ex Crazy Horse are still on the water. Kris, I believe yours is the first surface drive cig I have ever seen, incedible rooster tails. Mark what happened to the fifth mi. city flatdeck, RussSR1?

Don't know what happened to Russ.

We should get a reunion next summer. Maybe South Haven or Michigan City again. Hopefully Kris will have his put back together again

Mark

ill get some pics of the new dash and the race hatches i built once i figure out how to post them on here

I think it would be fun to have a flatdeck reunion. Its always interesting to see how guys have modified the older boats to personalise them and improve performance. I think there is 1 more flatdeck in west mi. area, it is your sister ship its paint scheme is the same as yours.
