I really apologize for the poor quality of the photos. I'm really not too practiced at this.
Now on the Rice Hauler V took all the things that I liked in the first 3 and rolled them into a fresh piece of fiberglass.
Started out with the HP 500's but moved over to Zul 625's in a year. The boat really liked the power and ran 90 easily.

Thanks for the photos/memories Robert!! :)

When is Rice Hauler VI going to be born? :D :D :drink:

There has to be a story behind any boat with a fingerprint on the side of the hull. I think I've seen other photos of this boat where it was inside the boat as well, such as embroidered into the headrests of the bolsters. Am I thinking of the same boat?

Great pics. I'd be smiling ear-to-ear as well. :drink:

That one is from Grand. However, LOTO is known to produce similar images. :D :D

Hey DD. Good eyes.
The #4 boat was originally owned and built by Raul Boesel. I really had not been planning to step up yet. But Raul invited me to his home one weekend while I was in Miami and we took it out.
I was so impressed that I told Raul that whenever he decided he wanted to sell I was ready.
Less than a week later I owned it and away we went.
The "thumbprint" is his personal logo. and was orginally on the Headrests in the boat. along with his name.
I changed that and will try and find some pics to show.
At any rate it was a great piece of machinery and I beleive now has a home on the eastern seaboard now.
Best,
Rice Hauler

Here are a couple more shots of Rice Hauler IV. Thought you might get a kick out of them. And it gives me an excuse to learn how to use my scanner.

I've scanned a couple more pics of Rice Hauler III
Just holler if you're getting sick of this yet.
