Oh yeah! There's nothing I love more than seeing raw a plug being born and crafted out of original ideas... Awesome! I love it

Sharkey -- I visited your website earlier today. Had not been there in some time....The place sure has grown! Nice job and I'll be back!

Thanks BK! It's always being updated, so keep checking back...There is enough there now to keep you busy for a long time!!!

I just had an idea. I will ask if they can bring the boat to SKATERFEST

Very cool thread, I'm going to e-mail this to a Naval Designer buddy of mine.

STEVE 1, Do you think you can make to Skaterfest? Did you dig up anymore photos?? Would like to see more of your boats...

Any comments or guesstimates on how well this boat may run?? It's supposed to weigh less than 2000 pounds ready to rig and is getting a 600hp 583 Hemi in it.

Hi Sharkey I will try my utmost to Make the Skaterfest, Also found another stack of Photos. Will post some.


Best Regards

If it is 2,000 lbs and has 600 horses I would guess it will break 100 mph, depending on several factors. But that's a conservative number.

Sharkey Here is one of the Open fish Models We built .The main thing About this particular Boat is the fact that it was molded one piece, In a three part mold, The Sides are a parabola in sectional profile (for the added stiffness of shape) Console is from a 10 Part mold, While the cockpit sole was a series of 8 Hatches with varying interchangeable options,Also so we could glass everything together very easy. I have pictures of the molding operation of this boat.

10 Meters x 3Meters

The Factory next to mine was bombed also during the War you can see where it was hit with a Tank Shell. Next to the boat is one of my wise guy Indians, Had 42 of them on staff in the boat plant.

steve i would love to see the pics of that one piece molding process. sounds pretty interesting. good looking boat to by the way. so does somebody actually have to glass from the inside of the mold???
