Speaking of Shadows
 

Since there is a great thread on here about a 1981 Shadow getting resored...got me wondering. It is my understanding that Love it again became Hustler which became Crimson tide which later became Out of Bounds lastly in CA...Where might this Shadow be now?
And also where is the Shadow 30 that was Ambusher then Eastern Express then maybe Cat Nip? Michigan somewhere? Interested, thanks.

oh yeh and pics of all of the names of these boats above if you have any. thanks.

Must be slow around here or I think I'm on too much. Any pics of 30 Shadow American Dream colors or when it was for sale at Sunny Isles as Miss Puerto Rico? ....please?!

American Dream is alive and well as D-11 and was last seen at TnT with # 5's and blower motors......

Love It Again was sitting out back of marine Machine about 10 years ago when I saw it last, rotting, with some funky canopies on the deck, might have said Phantom on the side?

The Shadow cat that became Ambusher was gray in color & originally came from Lake Mead I believe. It then became Eastern Express. We sold it to Greg Dunbar from the Grand Haven Mi area, he named it CAT NIP. Last time I talked to Greg about 3 years ago he still had it.

I wonder which boat became Crimson Tide and Out of Bounds in CA. I thought I read that T2x (in a previous post) said the second Love it went to CA...thought Crimson Tide might be it.
Hmmmmm.

Any more pics of this one? Very cool! I saw it in a Sarasota race 1989 I think. Did you have 500/550 hp smallblocks? Does boat still have smallblocks? Thanks.

Yup PHANTOM was it , I had seen it about that same time
at American Offshore in Dania when Greg Gluck was the Broker their. And funky is a good word for those canopies
too... LOL

We ran 372cu small blocks with 9.5 compression set up for OPT, P class, they made around 550hp. I believe Cat Nip still has small block Chevy's.

h2oboater, I remember that boat back when, before the Skater.......... I crewed for Humes and his Peppers cat :):):) CU one of these days..... Bill Jolley :)

I heard Dan retired and moved up north. I sold Dan my 31' Lancer around 1983. Dan than bought my Magnum race boat that in his first race in Grand Haven Mi he won in B class, just as the way I sold it to him. Mark

Nice job Mark. :) TTT

The 31 Shadow Cat, Catnip, is still owned by Greg DenBoer of Kentwood MI. It is still running small blocks. It has all aluminum Donovan 409 cubic inch dry sump blower motors.

I have TONS of pics of Hustler, my dad was the navigator
Also have a ton of pics of the original King Sting Shadow, held a speed recored for a long time

One of my favorite Shadows .

Pete "the prince" he was racin for the kids,,,yeah kids

love that boat!

Was that the original El Boss with Willy Diaz ?

That was the old "El Boss", no?

Yes, the original el boss turned into American Dream.

Was" Special Edition " a shadow? John and JD D'elia's boat?

This one was a Shadow, John later switched to a Chris cat.

Wasnt that Mr Rickeys line. :eekdrop:

Man! Was looking for that centerfold...what magazine was that?

Proally "Power Boat Magazine" .......

Hey Mark , Didn't Hildago later purchase the old Motor City magic boat and put a canopy on it. i believe his driver was killed in it in Key west. Wonder if he is still in the joint ?

Back in the mid 80's there was a Shadow owned by Sammy of Action Marine in Dearborn Hts, Michigan. It was Black and Yellow and I believe the name was Warrior. Any idea if the boat is still around under a different name? I remember Sammy moving to Naples,Florida. I think he had health problems.

Yes he did have Rob & Bob's old Magic cat back in 1991. After that it was in a boat yard in the Key's rotting away. Nobody has seen it in many years. Bill I would think Pete is out by now, I'm not sure he even went away. :confused:

Pete the prince got life looks like he's in the joint for the duration.

Maybe someone should start a thread trying to get him out:thankyouthankyou: I Know. I know, I'll be here all week :)

yep that was a "rickey-ism" dennis would later chime in on the racin for the kids, take a long drag on a smoke, "yeah kids wrighhhhtttt !"

Pete @ Sal can share stories about there KSW engines that have alot of punch. :lolhit:

Pete did not run KS&W motors he ran United Racing engines / Laser in both Miami's Best and American Dream. If you google Peter J Hildalgo, you'll find some interesting info about his on going case. Like the part about how the person the gave the feds all the info was a long time paid informant and so on.

I thought United Racing was Chuck Cice? Was Pete funding and Chuck building? Miami's best...any pics? 34 Coyote?

Had to read again...your saying he ran Chuck's engines in those 2 boats?

YES, Pete ran United motors built by Chuck!

Ryan it was a joke ment for bill63 & ironhead, we use to race M class against Pete with his United engines. Sal use to make that comment about KS&W in his interviews back in the day.

Did you know the Chuck from United still builds the motors for JD Byrider #45?

It was the Hustler that became the 2nd Ambusher. -Werner and John flew out to the bay tested her and brought her home same day.
