My buddy Jimmy Kirkland (Zero Patience on these boards) just text me this picture last week. It's a picture from a different vantage point than I've ever seen before from the race where Laith and Johhny went over the triple engine Shadow Cat. Amazing that nobody in the Shadow Cat was killed, especially since it took the guy on the starboard side's helmet off!

I just found these pics on Instagram of Sloppy Joes (formerly Katana, I believe). I'm guessing this was 46 hull #4 or #5? Hull #1 was Spirit of Norway, Hull #2 was Jaws, hull #3 was Recovery (now Freedom), and since the hull, deck, canopies and hatch scoops look the same as in the pictures I have of Recovery, I'm guessing Katana/Sloppy Joe's was a '94/'95, hull #4 or #5? Does anybody know what year/hull # Katana/Sloppy Joe's was?

I'm not 100% certain these aren't the same 46, just converted to fixed SSMVI from the original Arneson/BPM drives. Either way, I was told the motors that were in Freedom when I got it were originally a set of motors for Dave Scott's 46 Skater. They're Sterling, Big Chief 14 degree head 557s with the large "D" case PSIs on them. We've pulled the EFI off of them and are going back to carburetors during the complete rebuild process. These were not the same motors Freedom had in it when Jim traded it to Ron for Double Take. These motors were actually in Lickity Split for a while and ran a 172.

I have no idea where "Ruthless" is now, but Tyler put together a nice machine. One of my all time favorites. Click on the link.

Also going to convert to EFI Whipples should be a bad ride. |

I took this picture back on 4/12/2005, before Ruthless left Skater. Does anyone know why US1 was painted on the boat? |
