Do you mean the pics. I put up?

The two pics of the blue boat are the same boat, but with a different paint job. Repainted in 1980.

The white boat is all original, just has the name in block letters now, different than the way it came out of the factory in 1988.

LS can you post the upper right pic to the classic thread, there seems to be some confusion on which boat the op was referring to. Thanks, Tom.

Finally a picof the elusive "Gypsy Man".
Thanks: Matt

Engine hatches?

I put a couple up there for you Tom.
How is the project going?
I can't tell you how much fun racing that boat was.

Going really slow, adding new bulkheads which were taken out, (the pleasure boat thing), removing the deck hatch, new fuel cell,and of course the hole in the bow. There is no economy up here things are slow but steady, probably next year.

I guess thats what NO SLEEP will do to you.LOL
I looked at the pics today and didnt see the same thing I saw the night before. It looked like the front windshield had a V shape to it but it was just the Angle of the pic I guess.

Losing my mind I think.LOL Thats what having a new born in the house can do to you I guess.

In the video of the boat in the classic section, if you look close the original windshield was removed & was replaced with a stainless grab bar.
A windshield can slow a boat down quite a bit & it did.

you would think aero dynamically the slanted windshield would be better than the stainless bar. There was a good article in one of the car mags recently about aerodynamics and some testing they did on a camaro. It was amazing what helped and what hurt the flow of air. some things that helped out back were later negated by a change up front that threw the whole thing off.
do any of the race boat guys wind tunnel their boats or is it all hydro they worry about?

Love those pics of the old fords as tow vehicles. really sets the time.
