Hi Jay glad your all doing ok , I will put some pictures up when it arrives here and more when we race it next spring .
you can follow the racing if you go to UKOPRA fb page , racing is getting more boat entrys each year which is great for the sport . don't see peanut any more no idear what he is up to . if you ever come to visit Peanut let me know I will make sure you get a boat ride . Take care Paul Boat did date is 19 October I am getting excited 😄 |
Congrats on one wise purchase imho, Paul. Dan as always did an amazing job on this boat and I was shocked when it didn't sell
at first. Those Gentry motors I guess were de-tuned to around 900 hp each by Dan and will be reliable and stunningly impressive. You've got the Cig KAAMA 36 tribute there, the Kiekhaefer Aeromarine III, and the 1973 Cigarette Racing Team 35 Dry Martini now owned by Jonathan and son Hector Sainsbury. With the right preparation and you got a very serious contender. Godspeed and look forward to follow your endeavors in UKOPRA.

Not sure on the Kevlar but it sure drills like it is but haven't seen it. As far as the engines they are 454s with full roller valve train and small turbo's we figure about 650 to 700 HP max. I think it will be more than enuff power for this hull she is a light layup. hope to be in the water in 2 weeks.

De nada, Paul. Any boat that Dan at Archer Marine goes through and restores or refurbish, always turn out to be
spectacular. He makes sure that things work even in rough conditions. You truly scored on this boat. |
Paul, I can’t wait to see more! What’s on the “to do” list before the race season starts?

many hours of work later I am getting on top of it going back to mighty mouse and will be race number 1-09 fit a decent auto fire extinguisher and good to go will let you know when UKOPRA has its first race |
"Hi Jay I have had to do quite a lot more than I was led to believe I had to do , I was told good to go just needs fresh fuel 😂😂 two turbo s seized carbs and manifold full of rust
and corrosion and water with what looked like barnacles the side of peas in the manifold . Be the last time I trust anyone's word . Many hours of work later I am getting on top of it going back to mighty mouse and will be race number 1-09 fit a decent auto fire extinguisher and good to go will let you know when UKOPRA has its first race." This is really concerning, Paul. Never heard anybody that had a tricky experience at Archer Marine. Am I missing something? Who said "good to go just need fresh fuel"? Dan doesn't sell boats so it must have been with a broker for quite some time and not been taken care of? |
