Nice for the river.
 

Awesome video, I love the view of him running the cavitation plates! I would hate that for my local river though, I would need a kidney belt and immediate trip to the chiropractor!

thats pretty cool, whats the coiled tube next to the distributor with water coming out?

Thanks for the awesome ride with great engine sound.

Is his left foot controlling the cavitation plates ?

yep, they have a trim tab kinda thing that goes all the way across the back

My buddy has a beautiful one. I believe the manufacturers name is Jones. Looks like fun.

I have a flatbottom V-drive like this but mine is 2x4 tunnel ram and I am sure this one is a runner bottom so it tracks better than mine. love how you can hear the wirlaway ratcheting when the engine shut down. cant wait to get mine back together.

bilge pump. haha.

it's a breather. Alchohol is coming out. Its the second revenge K boat ever built by Bob Goettel.This boat won the nationals a few times. It then was sold to Bob Bode. (He races funnycars and used to race these things). Then scatlota got it and cut the capsule out of it.. Then I painted it and he sold it. It has a Joey Gross motor in it. I lost a few friends in these boats when they were racing. Most of the time it was cause the boat hit the guy.

looks like fun
but Ed I think I would rather be in the firefox

Well, it needs a little fiberglass work on the coaming. Did I tell you about my new Stihl chainsaw? LOL!

Grew up in Parker AZ and the Colorado river was my back yard- I saw lots of these boats when I was younger flying up and down the river, also watched them pull a lot of them from the bottom of it! My brother n law had one called Heavy Metal, it was the scariest most fun ride in a boat if you could handle it!

I just caught a Lucas Oil drag boat race coverage with Tony racing a top fuel flat! He seems to be a top runner. I also have some cool v- drive production videos with him running some big power.
