Smitty's ex wife is one of my mom's best friends. they stay at my house once a year in the summer. Smitty was one of few people to know the special ingredients of KFC (thats what he did before Brownie got him in to boats :) )

Hey mike I remember that about the KFC recipe

It's about time you showed up Pete :) How's the Cougar Buisness going?? Those Ribs sure look Great. I see Steven has one over here. Are you coming over any time soon? Ridgeway said he bought one ( He can afford that Now :) )

Things in the UK are very slow! Currently in Orlando, spending 50% of my time over here these days, glad you like the Rib, without blowing my own trumpet I must say it a fantastic running boat, what part of the US are you in these days! how is your Dad?

I have lived in Tennessee for the last 15 yrs. Brownie is good, he is still working with Harry Shoell on the Modern day steam engine. I was down in Miami last October and he took me by their shop, pretty cool stuff. You should go down and see him. What are you doing in Orlando??

Mike, is the USA doing work for Spirit of Qatar

Back to this thread, I think this boat is the old Sprinter/Systems boat, the deck has been modified with the chopped gunwale and it looks like its been badly re-skinned, The trailer that it is sat on would be correct as it has the mount for the car at the front

cougar m Wouldn't you say that this boat is the 35 footer Dirty Laundry built in 1989? Which was called Rivatied after Joe Mach had it?

NO, Rivited became a pleasure boat that runs out of Texas.....it is still around.

Thanks for the info Ryan. See ya at the Races.
