The 48' at LOTO was the first 48' ever built which was rigged at Fort Apache with triple #6's by C&G, It is not the same boat that Tim Drake owned Tim's always had Arnesons. Denis K. was a partner at Express in the early 80's he was bought back out by Ross with a bunch of blank hulls.Enough OEX history for now!!! SEE YA!!

ViciousOne,
I guess that explains all the boats he had at one time.

GlassDave,
I would like to see that video if possible.

OK Guys ... who's going to put the Toledo/OSO party together ??? This weekend sounds good ... I'll round up some of the Cleveland/leopeans and do a roadtrip !!!

HEY TANKS HAD FUEL IN REAR TANKS (CYLINDER TYPE) SIDE TANKS HAVE NO FUEL IN, NOW CHECKING. REAR TANKS ARE BETWEEN MOTORS. ROUND TANKS ARE GOOD TO HAVE?

boot my boat is not the one for sale I think the one for sale is a 36 with 1000.sort of a let down with two boats same name maybe new owner will change it!!!!!!!!!!!!hint

Glassdave seems to have plenty of time on his hands. All he dose is play on OSO. Get us a party put together this weekend Dave.

By the way Jerry, is that you in Powerboat tis month?

I would really like to see the 'fast boat' tape. I am told the black boat with two deck stripes is the hull I own before it was redone. thanx

HEY GUYS.I THINK THE 48 WITH TRIPS WAS CALLED "APACHE EXPRESS", AND THAT BOAT HAS ALOT OF HISTORY BEHIND IT LIKE RUNNING OVER ANOTHER BOAT IN FLA, AND KILLING THE PEOPLE IN THE SMALL BOAT, THEN THE TUNNEL BLEW OUT IN A RACE IN FLA, AND A TON OF OTHER STUFF...
