Copper Kettle
 

Anyone have any pics with sandy and his bertram?

Its for sale in the classifieds here on OSO. Go to Boats, and then to "other" for current pics and price. Hope this helps.

Thanks Fast Shafts, I got that pic of Just Do It. I have pics of his Cig, Corsa, Gara and xk 22 chris craft but cant seem to find any of the Bertram. Anyone know if he had any other race boats besides those?

i have tons of them

i have the hurricane classic on tape also , i think there is some good running shots of copper kettle in that video ...i dont know who made the boat tho?

i have some shots of the boat comming out of the water with the bottom busted ? looks to be wood ....i could be wrong tho ?

I believe his Gara was wood.....he also had a 44' tempest.

heres one i got from sandy about 35 years ago

And of these tons you can not post a few pounds here? :popcorn:

i dont have a scanner or a way to post them . ill try and take some pics with my cell and post em

What about the 36 cig ' Copper Kettle " that Dr.Bob Gingold raced from Miami early eighties ?

You could also try with a compact digital camera.
Find a not direct source of light (near a window with tent for example), avoiding light reflection on the image and eliminating the function of the flash,put the macro function and a bit of zoom to avoid the effect of curving of a 35mm lens too close to the subject (you can take the picture from 30-40 cm - 1"-1".5).
The result will be very close to that of a medium quality scanner.

Seeing that anyone post pics I try as usual.
Some pics of the Satullo's Bertram in 1976(with the #1).
That 38' was the first offshore boat ever built in Kevlar 49 of DuPont.
Note Mel Riggs in the cockpit of the first pic after the winning race Stroh's Grand National at Cedar Point,Ohio in 1976. Satullo repeating the victory in the same race with the same boat a year later.

BLACK TORNADO THOSE ARE SOME GREAT PICS!! ANY POSSIBILITY YOU HAVE ANY MORE OF ANY OF SANDY SR'S BOATS. IVE GOT A FEW BUT DIDNT HAVE THE CLOSE UP YOU POSTED. ANY AND ALL WOULD BE GREAT!
AND THANKS AGAIN...

Couple more.

And a few more from back in the day..:drink:

On the left probably the 22' Chris Craft which was the first boat for Sandy Satullo which fought against the 28' Magnum of the friend-rival Dominic Visconsi in duels on Lake Erie before both buy a 36' Cigarette each in 1972.
On the right the wooden prototype version of the 40' Gara that almost sank during a test before the Kirby Classic on Lake Erie in 1973.

[QUOTE=copperkettle1;3246765]If you're referring to the first close up picture of this is published in Searace of Crouse. If you're referring to the third picture is a frame from a great video of the 1976 APBA season produced by Team Kudu of Paul and Betty Cook.
Here are other frames.

Here is a pic of that day.:eek:

Someone posted he might have had a Scarab "Copper Kettle" any know if that is true or not?

i am pretty sure that sandy never raced a wellcraft jeff. but i could be wrong.

i remember in later 80's early 90's he had a Kettle boat in his boathouse in the clifton lagoons.... i didnt think it was any of the boats that he raced. Maybe if i can get a hold of Bobby to ask Sandy jr he would know.

ill give him a call next week. bobby may know too...

Hey Jason....any problems or issues winterizing the scarab?

nope! ran good, and pumped good this year!!!

Thanks Jason!

my friend owns that xk22 now we are in the process of a complete restore. its painted and new hardware on her. we are now working on the steering.

Gara Corsa
 

That was the 2nd boat deck from the mold on 38th st. The first one was Billie McDonalds "Impossible Dream" also started with wood and then 1st glass deck built by Nick Chapman and son and of course Cortez helped with that.
"Dream" sold to NJ developer Ed Simms and found new home in Brigentine "Rum Point Pub" under the bridge and was named "Rum Runner" Sandys 1st boat was all wood.

I love those pics!!! Some how I knew that was Rocky River bridge instantly!!! :)

What I did not understand is if in this photo was a new boat or just the same hull that nearly sank in 1973 but with a deck changed and the sides cutted.

2nd boat all glass Paul Hagertys' Gara Corsa team ....

.................................................. ........................................We have that exact boat , its a Xk Chriscraft , its for sale , $ 3,500. i think the boss wants for it , its been sitting , but i think its turn key + go ., Cool looking early Chris., What i like is that Copper Kettle seems never to touch the water, If only that was true .Arm Bruises!

we painted a scarab copper kettle boat at infinity offshore sometime in 95/96 while we were waiting on the 50 jag to get built

I knew i was pretty sure i saw that boat! I would love to have a pic of that boat! Thanks for the info.

Wish someone had a pic of that scarab!
