What happened/history of this boat
 

Picture is from St. Clair, 2004. I was a new fan to the sport, so I had no info on this boat, where it came from or what happened to it. If I remember right, it ran pretty good.

I believe that is the old Carlos -n-Charlie boat. rebuilt by Baker Engineering.

That is correct, it was taken from a double canopy to a single canopy. The boat is now owned by Bob Morgan in Lake Ozark Missouri he ran the Orange Beach and Lake Ozark OSS races in 08 under the name Bad Moon Risin in unlimited class. it is a 43 skater......one of the most unique ride charicterisics I have ever been in, it is very similar to the new Skater 388...very neat boat.

Boat was originally built by Skater for Patrick Patel and run as IN CONTEMPT in Modified Class. Pat leased it to Steve Neely who ran a Modified boat called OUT OF BOUNDS while that team was waiting for there 2nd Talon to be finished. After that the boat was sold to Dan Jackson and was called Extreme/Carlos and Charlies and was driven by Carlos and Charlies. This was the boat that Jack lost his life in at the Corpus Christie race in Texas. The boat later was bought by the guys that owned the Cat Can DO/ Baker Engineering Skater and they did the conversion that you see in the above pictures.

I remember that boat. I was there that year meeting a guy from Jersey that races a single 26. That boat was FAST on the water. I don't know what it was running for power, but they Runnin' some high R's!

Until it was bought after the crash it had Sterlings in it. The boat was always wicked fast.

boat still is wiked fast.....seen the tattle tale over 165 with less than 900 a side. Jumps up on top fast like the 388 and takes a great set.....quickly..was....out on the sanibel fun run this past weekend and lost a u-joint..

It was ALSO blown over backwards the FIRST time it race with Patel / Lewis in the boat , testing in NJ. Jim Dyke also worked on it for alittle while.

Yes Ryan is wsa blown over backwards on Barnaget Bay right out in front of Martell's Water's Edge. They were testing a new set of Sterlings that were in the boat as well and the tunnel tab switch was installed backwards. When Doug Lewis went to release the air being packed into the tunnel, it packed more air and then blew over backwards. The boat then went back to Skater and was repaired.

I remember hearing about the blow over but didn't know it was this boat...did'nt know the out of bounds history either...thanks for the history lesson....

hey Ryan how is Harry acclimating to the 388? See ya in MS
