Thanks, I've been looking for the 1970 records. I have Bob Holloways SJ boat that he set the 1970 Sport J Kilo record with.
This boat also set the SJJ Kilo record in 1972 with Greg Horn as the...
I have this photo that I think is from the 70's in DePue, IL

Raise the motor up off the transom 1/8" at a time. This will start the ventilation of the prop.

Just a guess but some times the kill switches go bad and you need to put a new one in.
It's happened to me before with the Merc kill switch.

What year did Jimbo stuff? I thought it was at this race.

4' x 8' Okoume plywood weighs 18 lbs. for 6mm and 1/4" Douglas Fir plywood weighs 25 lbs.
If it were me I would go with the Okoume that is BS1088 grade. One way to cut costs would be to find a...
I ran into Jeff Palmer in I think 1976 in St. Anne, IL. I was was in a 1 mile run and he came from Danville, IL to run in this race.
He had raced in SD class with a 13' Delta. Nice guy.

I used a few different woods in this SST-60 I built last year.

During the 70's I went to the local PPG auto paint store to get paint for a 1968 Evinrude and they just looked it up in their book and mixed it up. Try a PPG dealer and see.

I remember being in Chicago with my parents as a kid and hearing the Alky boats from where ever we were in Chicago. We begged and begged to go watch the boat races. Finally our parents gave in and we...
Are there specs for the Selva F-1000 similar to these available?

That looks like it could work as long as your mounting bolts are in the original transom.
3 inches thick is a lot. Most transoms are 2". It could be this way because of adding to the height or...
I took a look at the photos on your blog. The first thing I would do is sand the paint off the front of the transom. I can see a line that runs across the transom at the cockpit side height. This may...

The 1975 race was by Navy Pier. I think on the north side of Navy Pier. The year before it was by Marina City Towers. My mom took this photo in 1974.

Here are some photos I received from Greg Horn in Washington state. These are photos of his Del Craft SJ boat. Photos with Ride Guide steering are 1971 and photos with Keller cable steering are 1972....
I think I know what your boat looks like. Here's some from the 70's and 80's

I think one of the turbos (V4 I think) went to St. Louis one year. With Ken Stevenson driving. I don't think it raced, just tested. Did this happen at St. Louis or another race site?

Found some more photos from St. Louis.

Yes, it is a Hustler. It's one of the Nardi brothers. The red boat is a Vampire.

Do you think it could be Danville, IL?

Rick Remley bought this white Champ Boat and turned it into a Formula 100 boat and raced for one season, Then I got to do quite a few tricks to it. It turned out to be a really fast boat.
...
I was wondering if you had more photos of Greg Horn's boat because I have his old SJ DelCraft. But I don't have any photos of when he owned it or what it looked like when Bob Holloway owned it.

Clinton, IA was a good race site. I liked it because if you got tried of boat racing you could walk over to the car show. And when you got done with that walk over to the tractor pull. Then go see...
Brian & Bob,
When the test session was over there was talk of coming up to Detroit Lakes, MN with SST-60s and the Sport C and maybe a SST-120.
We still have more testing to do,...
Well, the last one we taked about was a SST-60 which is planned for this winter. For an un named driver.
It will be an improvent of the exisiting SST-60 designs out now. I need to send some more...
Jim,
Today was the first test of all of the changes I made to my boat. All went better than expected. We have not lost any RPM's but gained 1 to 2 hundred. The boat is now very close to...

Actually the R class was a 70 ci class. The class used the Merc 85 hp with all the mods you wanted. I got see them run in Minnesota once. I think Chris Bush won.

I think I got these at the IBEX show when it was held in Chicago. I didn't ask about pricing at the time. Maybe someone else might know.
