Re: War Party!!!!
 

NSX I don't think Ihave any pics

Re: War Party!!!!
 

Here is yours though, I think?

Re: War Party!!!!
 

It was a guy named Barnett, Jack I think. He was from Pearland I believe. Kept the boat at Clear Lake Marine Center. His old slip still has the name on it with a big picture of an Indian on the wall.

Re: War Party!!!!
 

:(

Is it rebuildable?

Re: War Party!!!!
 

Everything is rebuildable it just takes time and money!

Re: War Party!!!!
 

yeah i think barnett was his name. i heard he lived on tiekie island at the time. i have not been to the marina he kept it at in a long time but that used to be one of the best collection of bad ass offshore boats i have ever seen. there was one called slick and sticky with a cool paint job also at the marina!!!

Re: War Party!!!!
 

He did have a HUGE house on Tiki Island. I remember it being for sale for a long time. I don't think it was where he lived at the time. Then it burnt down. Poor guy doesn't seem to have much luck with fires.

stick and slicky was another awesome boat!!!!

Re: War Party!!!!
 

Yeah thats ours. Thanks for the pictures!

Re: War Party!!!!
 

Mine and the 41 are still around, so at least some of the War Party family survived :D That 47 was one bad MOFO though. What did the 47 have for power?

Re: War Party!!!!
 

The house on Tiki didnt burn down a good friend of mine bought it. There were actually two houses seperated by a pool.

Re: War Party!!!!
 

This was over 10 years ago, maybe it was rebuilt?

Or I could of been told the wrong house (I went by and looked at it). It was dark wood and had a huge boat lift.

Ugly fire!

What a shame........This powerboat was almost on par with of "Spirit of Apache".......Ton's of custom work....$$$$$$!

Whatever happened to Bubba's old 36' War Party? Last I heard it was at National Liquidators but that was a year or two ago.

Still there

I do not understand why it has not been rebuilt by now!

Back there.. It went to canada for a while and now is back at national.

I'm glad to see that it appears to still be in good shape.

Both of these war party's were painted by Rons Body Shop in Houston TX
41 war party took 18 months to paint, was painted once and not liked, so stripped bare and painted again from scratch.
Gail P had nothing to do with either of these 2 boats in anyway.

Alton Gillespie painted the 47

Bobby took a look at it recently and concurred that it's still in great shape!:drink:

Budda, did the boat originally have the 525SC's?

Yes it has always had 525 SCs. I had Brad Smith convert them to roller/rocker instead of flat tappet a few years back though.
